NOTES TO CONDENSED

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                          

 

1. Interim Financial Statements

 

Principles of Consolidation -

 

The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Kimco Realty Corporation and Subsidiaries, (the “Company”). The Company’s Subsidiaries includes subsidiaries which are wholly-owned, and all entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) or meets certain criteria of a sole general partner or managing member in accordance with the Consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”). All inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  The information furnished in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 ("10-K"), as certain disclosures in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2013 that would duplicate those included in the 10-K are not included in these Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Subsequent Events -

 

The Company has evaluated subsequent events and transactions for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements (see Footnote 9).

 

Income Taxes -

 

The Company elected status as a Real Estate Investment Trust (a “REIT”) for federal income tax purposes beginning in its taxable year ended December 31, 1991 and operates in a manner that enables the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.  As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90 percent of its taxable income and will not pay federal income taxes on the amount distributed to its shareholders.  Therefore, the Company is not subject to federal income taxes if it distributes 100 percent of its taxable income.   Most states, where the Company holds investments in real estate, conform to the federal rules recognizing REITs.  Certain subsidiaries have made a joint election with the Company to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), which permit the Company to engage in certain business activities in which the REIT may not conduct directly.  A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities and the Company includes a provision for taxes in its condensed consolidated financial statements.  The Company is subject to and also includes in its tax provision non-U.S. income taxes on certain investments located in jurisdictions outside the U.S.

(a)  

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, the effect of certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Income from continuing operations per share.  Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.  Additionally, there were 9,070,328 and 14,343,058 stock options that were not dilutive at June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  

 

The Company's unvested restricted share awards contain non-forfeitable rights to distributions or distribution equivalents. The impact of the unvested restricted share awards on earnings per share has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the unvested restricted share awards based on dividends declared and the unvested restricted shares' participation rights in undistributed earnings.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements -

 

In February 2013, the FASB issued new guidance regarding liabilities, Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2013-04, Liabilities (Topic 405): Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date (“ASU 2013-04”), effective retrospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The amendments require an entity to measure obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of the guidance is fixed at the reporting date, as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors and any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. In addition, the amendments require an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation, as well as other information about the obligations. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

 

In January 2013, the FASB released ASU 2013-02, Reporting of Amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). This guidance is the culmination of the board’s redeliberation on reporting reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income. The standard requires that companies present either in a single note or parenthetically on the face of the financial statements, the effect of significant amounts reclassified from each component of accumulated other comprehensive income based on its source (e.g., the release due to cash flow hedges from interest rate contracts) and the income statement line items affected by the reclassification (e.g., interest income or interest expense). If a component is not required to be reclassified to net income in its entirety (e.g., the net periodic pension cost), companies would instead cross reference to the related footnote for additional information (e.g., the pension footnote). The new requirements were effective for public companies in interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures.  

 

 
9

 

 

In December 2011, the FASB released ASU 2011-11, Balance Sheet (Topic 210): Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (“ASU 2011-11”). ASU 2011-11 requires companies to provide new disclosures about offsetting and related arrangements for financial instruments and derivatives. The provisions of ASU 2011-11 are effective for reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2013, and are required to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of ASU 2011-11 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement disclosures.

 

Reclassifications –

 

Certain reclassifications have been made to previously recorded amounts to conform to the current year presentation, Specifically, the Company is presenting on its Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income its Provision for doubtful accounts as a separate line item included in Operating expenses, which during 2012 was included in Revenues from rental properties. Additionally, the Company made certain other immaterial reclassifications to the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012 to conform to the current year presentation.

(1)

This property was acquired from a joint venture in which the Company had a 45% noncontrolling interest.  The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance and as such recognized a gain of $22.7 million, before income tax, from the fair value adjustment associated with the Company’s original ownership due to a change in control, which is reflected in the purchase price above in Other.

(2)

This property was acquired from a joint venture in which the Company had a 19% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance. This transaction resulted in a change in control with no gain or loss recognized.

(3)

(4)

The acquisition of this property included the issuance of $5.2 million of redeemable units, which are redeemable at the option of the holder after one year and earn a yield of 6% per annum, which is included in the purchase price above in Other. In connection with this transaction, the Company provided the sellers a $5.2 million loan at a rate of 6.5%, which is secured by the redeemable units.

(5)

This property was acquired from a joint venture in which the Company has a 15% noncontrolling interest. The Company evaluated this transaction pursuant to the FASB’s Consolidation guidance. This transaction resulted in a change in control with no gain or loss recognized.

(6)

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining ownership interest in FNC Realty Corporation (“FNC”) of 17.3% for $20.3 million. As a result of this transaction the Company now owns 100% of FNC. The Company had previously and continues to consolidate FNC. Since there was no change in control from this transaction, the purchase of the additional interest resulted in a decrease in noncontrolling interest of $19.6 million and a decrease in the Company’s Paid-in capital of $0.7 million during 2013.

 

Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company acquired the remaining interest in three previously consolidated joint ventures for $6.5 million. The Company continues to consolidate these entities as there was no change in control from these transactions. The purchase of the remaining partnership interests resulted in an aggregate decrease in noncontrolling interest of $0.4 million and an aggregate decrease of $4.8 million, after income taxes, to the Company’s Paid-in capital, during the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Dispositions –

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company disposed of 13 operating properties, in separate transactions, for an aggregate sales price of $100.8 million. These transactions, which are included in Discontinued Operations, resulted in an aggregate gain of $4.4 million and impairment charges of $20.8 million, after income taxes.

 

Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company disposed of two land parcels for an aggregate sales price of $10.9 million and recognized impairment charges of $0.3 million related to these transactions.

 

Impairment Charges -

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized aggregate impairment charges of $35.5 million, which are included in Impairment charges under Operating expenses on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, relating to (i) two land parcels and four operating properties based upon purchase price offers aggregating $39.5 million, and (ii) a cost method investment, based upon a fair value estimate of $7.0 million using a discounted cash flow model (see Footnote 12). The operating property impairments resulted from the Company’s efforts to market certain assets and management’s assessment as to the likelihood and timing of such potential transactions. The impairment of the cost method investment was based upon a review of the underlying cause of the decline in value, as well as the severity and duration of the decline. As a result of such review, the Company determined that the decline was deemed to be other-than-temporary.

 

3. Discontinued Operations

 

The Company reports as discontinued operations, properties held-for-sale as of the end of the current period and assets sold during the period. The results of these discontinued operations are included as a separate component of income on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income under the caption Discontinued operations.  This reporting has resulted in certain reclassifications of 2012 financial statement amounts.

6. Variable Interest Entities

 

Consolidated Ground-Up Development Projects

 

Included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at June 30, 2013, are two entities that are VIEs, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. These entities were established to develop real estate property to hold as long-term investments.  The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its majority ownership and management of the properties. These entities were deemed VIEs primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk is not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to these entities was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as a result of its controlling financial interest.  

 

           At June 30, 2013, total assets of these ground-up development VIEs were $88.8 million and total liabilities were $0.3 million. The classification of these assets is primarily within Real estate under development and the classification of liabilities are primarily within accounts payable and accrued expenses, which is included in Other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

 

Substantially all of the projected development costs to be funded for these ground-up development VIEs, aggregating $33.2 million, will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and by the outside partners, when contractually obligated. The Company has not provided financial support to these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide.

 

Unconsolidated Ground-Up Development

 

Also included within the Company’s ground-up development projects at June 30, 2013, is an unconsolidated joint venture, which is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture is primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support.  The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period.  The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest.

 

The Company’s investment in this VIE was $17.5 million as of June 30, 2013, which is included in Real estate under development in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is estimated to be $35.9 million, which primarily represents the Company’s current investment and estimated future funding commitments of $18.4 million.  The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide.  All future costs of development will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

Unconsolidated Redevelopment Investment

 

Included in the Company’s joint venture investments at June 30, 2013, is one unconsolidated joint venture, which is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. This joint venture was primarily established to develop real estate property for long-term investment and was deemed a VIE primarily based on the fact that the equity investment at risk was not sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional financial support. The initial equity contributed to this entity was not sufficient to fully finance the real estate construction as development costs are funded by the partners throughout the construction period. The Company determined that it was not the primary beneficiary of this VIE based on the fact that the Company has shared control of this entity along with the entity’s partners and therefore does not have a controlling financial interest.

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company’s investment in this VIE was a negative $11.4 million, due to the fact that the Company had a remaining capital commitment obligation, which is included in Other liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s maximum exposure to loss as a result of its involvement with this VIE is estimated to be $11.4 million, which is the remaining capital commitment obligation. The Company has not provided financial support to this VIE that it was not previously contractually required to provide. All future costs of development will be funded with capital contributions from the Company and the outside partner in accordance with their respective ownership percentages.

 

7. Mortgages and Other Financing Receivables:

 

The Company has various mortgages and other financing receivables which consist of loans acquired and loans originated by the Company. The Company reviews payment status to identify performing versus non-performing loans. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. A non-performing loan is placed on non-accrual status when it is probable that the borrower may be unable to meet interest payments as they become due. Generally, loans 90 days or more past due are placed on non-accrual status unless there is sufficient collateral to assure collectability of principal and interest. Upon the designation of non-accrual status, all unpaid accrued interest is reserved against through current income. Interest income on non-performing loans is generally recognized on a cash basis. The following table presents performing and non-performing loans as of June 30, 2013 (in thousands):

The Company has placed this loan on non-accrual status with respect to the recognition of interest income starting from the loan’s nonperformance date in April 2008. The Company assessed this loan and determined that the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral exceeded its carrying value as of June 30, 2013. During June 2013, the Company commenced foreclosure proceedings on the underlying collateral of 427 acres of land located in Brantford, Ontario Canada relating to this loan.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013 the Company foreclosed on a $1.3 million loan that had been non-performing and as such acquired the 59.24 acres of undeveloped land located in Westbrook, Maine which was the collateral under the loan.

 

8. Marketable Securities and Other Investments

 

At June 30, 2013, the Company’s investment in marketable securities was $71.0 million which includes an aggregate unrealized gain of $25.5 million relating to marketable equity security investments.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company received $10.6 million in proceeds from the sale of certain marketable equity securities. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a gain of $5.3 million.

 

9. Notes Payable

 

During March 2013, the Company entered into a new five year 1.0 billion Mexican peso (“MXN”) term loan which matures in March 2018. This term loan bears interest at a rate equal to TIIE (Equilibrium Interbank Interest Rate) plus 1.35% (5.66% as of June 30, 2013). The Company has the option to swap this rate to a fixed rate at any time during the term of the loan.  The Company used these proceeds to repay its 1.0 billion MXN term loan, which matured in March 2013 and bore interest at a fixed rate of 8.58%.  As of June 30, 2013, the outstanding balance on this new term loan was MXN 1.0 billion (USD $76.8 million). 

 

During May 2013, the Company issued $350.0 million of 10-year Senior Unsecured Notes at an interest rate of 3.125% payable semi-annually in arrears which are scheduled to mature in May 2023. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $344.7 million, after related transaction costs of $0.5 million. The proceeds from this issuance were used for general corporate purposes including the partial reduction of borrowings under the Company’s revolving credit facility and the repayment of the $75.0 million senior unsecured notes which matured in June 2013.

During July 2013, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company issued $200.0 million Canadian denominated (“CAD”) Series 4 unsecured notes on a private placement basis in Canada. The notes bear interest at 3.855% and are scheduled to mature on August 4, 2020. Proceeds from the notes will be used to repay the Company’s CAD $200.0 million 5.180% unsecured notes maturing on August 16, 2013.

 

10. Mortgages Payable

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company (i) assumed $243.3 million of individual non-recourse mortgage debt relating to the acquisition of eight operating properties, including an increase of $3.9 million associated with fair value debt adjustments (ii) obtained $17.4 million of individual non-recourse mortgage debt relating to two operating properties and (iii) paid off $66.2 million of mortgage debt that encumbered six properties.

 

11. Noncontrolling Interests

 

Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that the Company does not own in those entities it consolidates as a result of having a controlling financial interest in accordance with the provisions of the FASB’s Consolidation guidance.  The Company identifies its noncontrolling interests separately within the equity section on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Noncontrolling interests also includes amounts related to partnership units issued by consolidated subsidiaries of the Company in connection with certain property acquisitions.  Partnership units which are determined to be mandatorily redeemable under the FASB’s Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity guidance are classified as Redeemable noncontrolling interests and presented in the mezzanine section between Total liabilities and Stockholder’s equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the Company and to the noncontrolling interests are presented on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

 

The following table presents the change in the redemption value of the Redeemable noncontrolling interests for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and June 30, 2012 (amounts in thousands):

12. Fair Value Measurements

 

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s estimation based upon an interpretation of available market information and valuation methodologies, reasonably approximate their fair values except those listed below, for which fair values are disclosed.  The valuation method used to estimate fair value for fixed-rate and variable-rate debt is based on discounted cash flow analyses, with assumptions that include credit spreads, market yield curves, trading activity, loan amounts and debt maturities.  The fair values for marketable securities are based on published values, securities dealers’ estimated market values or comparable market sales.  Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

 

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

(2) The Company determined that its valuation of Notes payable was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 

(3) The Company determined that its valuation of Mortgages payable was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. 

 

The Company has certain financial instruments that must be measured under the FASB’s Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures guidance, including available for sale securities. The Company currently does not have non-financial assets and non-financial liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

 

The table below presents the Company’s financial assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall (in thousands):

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized impairment charges of $81.5 million ($45.8 million of which is included in discontinued operations) of which $73.7 million related to adjustments to property carrying values and $7.8 million relating to a cost method investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized impairment charges of $34.6 million ($34.2 million of which is included in discontinued operations) relating to adjustments to property carrying values. The Company’s estimated fair values were primarily based upon estimated sales prices from third party offers relating to property carrying values and a discounted cash flow model relating to the Company’s cost method investment. The Company does not have access to the unobservable inputs used by the third parties to determine these estimated fair values.  The discounted cash flows model includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. These cash flows were comprised of unobservable inputs which include contractual revenues and forecasted revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. The capitalization rate of 6.0% and discount rate of 9.5% which were utilized in this model were based upon observable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective investments. Based on these inputs the Company determined that its valuation of these investments was classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

15. Incentive Plans

 

The Company maintains two equity participation plans, the Second Amended and Restated 1998 Equity Participation Plan (the “Prior Plan”) and the 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “2010 Plan”) (collectively, the “Plans”).  The Prior Plan provides for a maximum of 47,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified stock options and restricted stock grants.  Effective May 1, 2012, the 2010 Plan provides for a maximum of 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified stock options and other awards, plus the number of shares of common stock which are or become available for issuance under the Prior Plan and which are not thereafter issued under the Prior Plan, subject to certain conditions.  Unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors at its sole discretion, stock options granted under the Plans generally vest ratably over a range of three to five years, expire ten years from the date of grant and are exercisable at the market price on the date of grant.  Restricted stock grants generally vest (i) 100% on the fourth or fifth anniversary of the grant, (ii) ratably over three or four years, (iii) over three years, at 50% after two years and 50% after the third year or (iv) over ten years at 20% per year commencing after the fifth year.  Performance share awards may provide a right to receive shares of restricted stock based on the Company’s performance relative to its peers, as defined, or based on other performance criteria as determined by the Board of Directors.  In addition, the Plans provide for the granting of certain stock options and restricted stock to each of the Company’s non-employee directors (the “Independent Directors”) and permits such Independent Directors to elect to receive deferred stock awards in lieu of directors’ fees.

 

The Company recognized expenses associated with its equity awards of $10.9 million and $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company had $37.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation granted under the Plans.  That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 3.8 years.

 

16. Taxable REIT Subsidiaries (“TRS”)

 

The Company is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on the income from its TRS activities, which include wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company, Kimco Realty Services ("KRS"), which due to a merger on April 1, 2013 includes FNC Realty Corporation (“FNC”), and the consolidated entity Blue Ridge Real Estate Company/Big Boulder Corporation.  On April 2, 2013, the Company contributed its interest in FNC to KRS and KRS acquired all of the outstanding stock of FNC in a reverse cash merger. The Company is also subject to local non-U.S. taxes on certain investments located outside the U.S.

Income taxes have been provided for on the asset and liability method as required by the FASB’s Income Taxes guidance.  Under the asset and liability method, deferred income taxes are recognized for the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of the taxable assets and liabilities.

 

The Company’s deferred tax assets and liabilities, which are included in the caption Other assets and Other liabilities on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, at June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, were as follows (in thousands):

Net deferred tax assets

  $ 105,483     $ 90,225  

 

As of June 30, 2013, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $105.5 million comprised of (i) $94.4 million primarily related to KRS (including $20.3 million related to FNC) and (ii) $11.1 million related to its foreign investments. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company determined that a reduction of $8.7 million of the valuation allowance against the FNC deferred tax assets was deemed appropriate based on expected future taxable income. The Company determined that no additional valuation allowance was needed against the remaining net deferred tax asset as future earnings are anticipated to be sufficient to more likely than not realize its net deferred tax asset. The Company based its determination on an analysis of both positive and negative evidence. If future income projections do not occur as forecasted and future taxable earnings are insufficient, the Company will reevaluate the need for an additional valuation allowance.

 

Uncertain Tax Positions:

 

The Company is subject to income tax in certain jurisdictions outside the U.S., principally Canada and Mexico.  The statute of limitations on assessment of tax varies from three to seven years depending on the jurisdiction and tax issue. Tax returns filed in each jurisdiction are subject to examination by local tax authorities.  The Company is currently under audit by the Canadian Revenue Agency, Mexican Tax Authority and the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”).  In October 2011, the IRS issued a notice of proposed adjustment, which proposes pursuant to Section 482 of the Code, to disallow a capital loss claimed by KRS on the disposition of common shares of Valad Property Ltd., an Australian publicly listed company.  Because the adjustment is being made pursuant to Section 482 of the Code, the IRS may assert a 100 percent “penalty” tax pursuant to Section 857(b)(7) of the Code in lieu of disallowing the capital loss deduction. The notice of proposed adjustment indicates the IRS’ intention to impose the 100 percent penalty tax on the Company in the amount of $40.9 million and disallowing the capital loss claimed by KRS.  The Company strongly disagrees with the IRS’ position on the application of Section 482 of the Code to the disposition of the shares, the imposition of the 100 percent penalty tax and the simultaneous assertion of the penalty tax and disallowance of the capital loss deduction. The Company received a Notice of Proposed Assessment and filed a written protest and requested an IRS Appeals Office conference, which has yet to be scheduled.  The Company intends to vigorously defend its position in this matter and believes it will prevail. Resolutions of these audits are not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by the Company contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.  The Company intends such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and includes this statement for purposes of complying with the safe harbor provisions.  Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe the Company’s future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project” or similar expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and could materially affect actual results, performances or achievements.  Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from current expectations include, but are not limited to (i) general adverse economic and local real estate conditions, (ii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency or a general downturn in their business, (iii) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt or other sources of financing or refinancing on favorable terms for the Company, (iv) the Company’s ability to raise capital by selling its assets, (v) changes in governmental laws and regulations, (vi) the level and volatility of interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, (vii) risks related to our international operations, (viii) the availability of suitable acquisition and disposition opportunities, (ix) valuation and risks related to our joint venture and preferred equity investments, (x) valuation of marketable securities and other investments, (xi) increases in operating costs, (xii) changes in the dividend policy for the Company’s common stock, (xiii) the reduction in the Company’s income in the event of multiple lease terminations by tenants or a failure by multiple tenants to occupy their premises in a shopping center, (xiv) impairment charges and (xv) unanticipated changes in the Company’s intention or ability to prepay certain debt prior to maturity and/or hold certain securities until maturity and the risk factors discussed in Part II, Item 1A. included in this Form 10-Q and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, Accordingly, there is no assurance that the Company’s expectations will be realized.

 

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto.  These unaudited financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

 

Executive Summary

 

Kimco Realty Corporation is one of the nation’s largest publicly-traded owners and operators of neighborhood and community shopping centers.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company had interests in 874 shopping center properties (the “Combined Shopping Center Portfolio”) aggregating 128.0 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) and 682 other property interests, primarily through the Company’s preferred equity investments, other real estate investments and non-retail properties, totaling 25.4 million square feet of GLA, for a grand total of 1,556 properties aggregating 153.4 million square feet of GLA, located in 43 states, Puerto Rico, Canada, Mexico, Chile, Brazil and Peru.

 

The executive officers are engaged in the day-to-day management and operation of real estate exclusively with the Company, with nearly all operating functions, including leasing, asset management, maintenance, construction, legal, finance and accounting, administered by the Company.

 

The Company’s vision is to be the premier owner and operator of shopping centers with its core business operations focusing on owning and operating neighborhood and community shopping centers through investments in North America.  This vision has entailed a shift away from non-retail assets that the Company currently holds. These investments include non-retail preferred equity investments, marketable securities, mortgages on non-retail properties and several urban mixed-use properties.  The Company has been actively selling its non-retail assets and investments. As of June 30, 2013, these investments had a book value of $212.9 million, which represents less than 1.9% of the Company’s total assets, before depreciation. In addition, the Company has an active capital recycling program of selling retail assets deemed non-strategic. If the Company accepts sales prices for these non-retail and/or non-strategic assets that are less than their net carrying values, the Company would be required to take impairment charges. In order to execute the Company’s vision, the Company’s strategy is to continue to strengthen its balance sheet by pursuing deleveraging efforts over time, providing it the necessary flexibility to invest opportunistically and selectively, primarily focusing on neighborhood and community shopping centers.  In addition, the Company has an institutional management business with domestic and foreign institutional partners for the purpose of investing in neighborhood and community shopping centers.

Depreciation and amortization increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in 2012, primarily due to (i) operating property acquisitions during 2013 and 2012 and (ii) expensing of unamortized tenant costs related to tenant vacancies prior to their lease expiration, partially offset by (iii) certain operating property dispositions during 2013 and 2012.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company recognized impairment charges of $81.5 million ($45.8 million of which is included in discontinued operations) of which $73.7 million related to adjustments to property carrying values and $7.8 million relating to a cost method investment. During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company recognized impairment charges of $34.6 million ($34.2 million of which is included in discontinued operations) relating to adjustments to property carrying values.

The guarantee is collateralized by the buyer’s ownership interest in the portfolio. The Company is entitled to a guarantee fee, for the initial term of the loan, which is scheduled to mature in December 2015.

Additionally, the Company has entered into a commitment to provide financing up to $145.2 million for five years past the date of maturity. This commitment can be in the form of extensions with the current lender or a new lender or financing directly from the Company to the buyer. Due to this continued involvement, the Company deferred its gain until such time that the guarantee and commitment expire.

The Company intends to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios as part of its commitment to maintain its investment-grade debt ratings.  The Company plans to continue strengthening its balance sheet by pursuing deleveraging efforts over time.  The Company may, from time-to-time, seek to obtain funds through additional common and preferred equity offerings, unsecured debt financings and/or mortgage/construction loan financings and other capital alternatives.

Interest on borrowings under the Credit Facility accrues at LIBOR plus 1.05% and fluctuates in accordance with changes in the Company’s senior debt ratings and has a facility fee of 0.20% per annum.  As part of this Credit Facility, the Company has a competitive bid option whereby the Company could auction up to $875.0 million of its requested borrowings to the bank group.  This competitive bid option provides the Company the opportunity to obtain pricing below the currently stated spread.  In addition, as part of the Credit Facility, the Company has a $500.0 million sub-limit which provides it the opportunity to borrow in alternative currencies such as Canadian Dollars, British Pounds Sterling, Japanese Yen or Euros. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility, the Company, among other things, is subject to covenants requiring the maintenance of (i) maximum leverage ratios on both unsecured and secured debt and (ii) minimum interest and fixed coverage ratios.  As of June 30, 2013, the Credit Facility had a balance of $186.6 million outstanding and $3.8 million appropriated for letters of credit.

The notes bear interest at 3.855% and are scheduled to mature on August 4, 2020. Proceeds from these notes will be used to repay the Company’s CAD $200.0 million 5.180% unsecured notes maturing on August 16, 2013.

The Company, from time to time, repurchases shares of its common stock in amounts that offset new issuances of common shares in connection with the exercise of stock options or the issuance of restricted stock awards. These repurchases may occur in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, subject to prevailing market conditions, the Company’s liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.  During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company did not repurchase shares of its common stock.

 

In addition to the public equity and debt markets as capital sources, the Company may, from time-to-time, obtain mortgage financing on selected properties and construction loans to partially fund the capital needs of its ground-up development projects.  As of June 30, 2013, the Company had over 390 unencumbered property interests in its portfolio.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company (i) assumed $243.3 million of individual non-recourse mortgage debt relating to the acquisition of eight operating properties, including an increase of $3.9 million associated with fair value debt adjustments, (ii) obtained $17.4 million of individual non-recourse mortgage debt relating to two operating properties and (ii) paid off $66.2 million of mortgage debt that encumbered six properties.

 

In connection with its intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, the Company expects to continue paying regular dividends to its stockholders. These dividends will be paid from operating cash flows. The Company’s Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s dividend policy on a quarterly basis as the Board of Directors monitors sources of capital and evaluates the impact of the economy and capital markets availability on operating fundamentals.  Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, the Company generally intends to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving such amounts as it considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in its portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate.  Cash dividends paid for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were $199.2 million and $184.3 million, respectively.

 

Although the Company receives substantially all of its rental payments on a monthly basis, it generally intends to continue paying dividends quarterly.  Amounts accumulated in advance of each quarterly distribution will be invested by the Company in short-term money market or other suitable instruments.  The Company’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per common share payable to shareholders of record on July 3, 2013, which was paid on July 15, 2013. The Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.21 per common share payable to shareholders of record on October 3, 2013, which is scheduled to be paid on October 15, 2013.

 

Funds from Operations

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income/(loss) attributable to common shareholders computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding (i) gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets and (ii) extraordinary items, plus (iii) depreciation and amortization of operating properties and (iv) impairment of depreciable real estate and in substance real estate equity investments and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

 

The Company presents FFO as it considers it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believes it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting results. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

 

The Company also presents FFO as adjusted as an additional supplemental measure as it believes it is more reflective of the Company’s core operating performance. The Company believes FFO as adjusted provides investors and analysts an additional measure in comparing the Company’s performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. FFO as adjusted is generally calculated by the Company as FFO excluding certain transactional income and expenses and non-operating impairments which management believes are not reflective of the results within the Company’s operating real estate portfolio.

 

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performances, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore should not be considered an alternative for net income as a measure of liquidity.  Our method of calculating FFO and FFO as adjusted may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common stock at the beginning of the period, which would have a dilutive effect on FFO. FFO would be increased by $625 and $520 for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $1,249 and $1,039 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The effect of other certain convertible units would have an anti-dilutive effect upon the calculation of Income from continuing operations per share.  Accordingly, the impact of such conversion has not been included in the determination of diluted earnings per share calculations.  

 

Same Property Net Operating Income

 

Same Property Net Operating Income (“Same Property NOI”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance. Same Property NOI is considered by management to be an important performance measure of the Company’s operations and management believes that it is helpful to investors as a measure of the Company’s operating performance because it includes only the net operating income of properties that have been owned for the entire current and prior year reporting periods and excludes properties under development and pending stabilization. As such, Same Property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of the Company's properties.

 

Same Property NOI is calculated using revenues from rental properties (excluding straight-line rents, lease termination fees and above/below market rents) less operating and maintenance expense, real estate taxes and rent expense, plus the Company’s proportionate share of Same Property NOI from unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, calculated on the same basis. Same Property NOI includes all  properties that are owned for the entire current and prior year reporting periods and excludes properties under development and properties pending stabilization. Properties are deemed stabilized at the earlier of (i) reaching 90% leased or (ii) one year following a projects inclusion in operating real estate (two years for Latin American properties).

Same Property NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance and should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity.  Our method of calculating Same Property NOI may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Same Property NOI increased by $9.1 million or 4.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in 2012. This increase is primarily the result of (i) an increase of $5.7 million related to lease-up and rent commencements in the U.S. and Latin America, (ii) an increase of $3.5 million in other property income and (iii) the impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $0.1 million. Same Property NOI increased by $18.1 million or 4.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2013, as compared to the corresponding period in 2012. This increase is primarily the result of (i) an increase of $12.1 million related to lease-up and rent commencements in the U.S. and Latin America, (ii) an increase of $5.7 million in other property income and (iii) the impact from changes in foreign currency exchange rates of $0.3 million.

 

Leasing Activity

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company executed 490 leases totaling over 3.9 million square feet in the Company's consolidated operating portfolio comprised of 195 new leases and 295 renewals and options. The leasing costs associated with these leases are anticipated to aggregate $23.8 million or $28.68 per square foot. These costs include $19.7 million of tenant improvements and $4.1 million of leasing commissions. 

 

Tenant Lease Expirations

 

The following table sets forth the aggregate lease expirations for each of the next ten years, assuming no renewal options are exercised. For purposes of the table, the Total Annual Base Rent Expiring represents annualized rental revenue, for each lease that expires during the respective year.

- 26 -

 

 

Purchase of Notes:  

The Notes may be purchased by NT III at any time by private agreement or by tender. At the option of NT III, the Notes so purchased may be cancelled and may not be re-issued.

   

Condition and Sale of Notes:  

The Notes are being offered and sold by NT III in all the Provinces of Canada through the Agents on a private placement basis without the filing of a prospectus or an offering memorandum and in accordance with Regulations under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ U.S. Securities Act ”). The Notes have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to U.S. persons (other than distributors) unless the Notes are registered under the U.S. Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act is available. The Notes may only be re-sold on a basis that is exempt from the registration and prospectus requirements of applicable securities legislation. See "Resale Restrictions".  

   

Resale Restrictions:    

Resale of the Notes will be subject to restrictions under applicable securities legislation. In particular, the distribution of the Notes in the Provinces of Canada is being made on a private placement basis and is therefore exempt from the requirement that NT III prepare and file a prospectus with the relevant Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Accordingly, any resale of the Notes must be made: (a) through an appropriately registered dealer or pursuant to an exemption from the dealer registration requirements of applicable provincial securities laws; and (b) in accordance with, or pursuant to an exemption from, the prospectus requirements of applicable provincial securities laws. Purchasers are advised to seek legal advice prior to any resale of the Notes.  

 

Each purchaser of Notes, by its purchase thereof, is deemed to have acknowledged and confirmed to the NT III and any Agent who is involved in the sale of the Notes to such purchaser that such purchaser understands that the Notes are subject to transfer and resale restrictions in Canada and that the certificates representing the Notes (or the relevant ownership statement under a direct registration system or other book-entry system) may bear the following legend and that this document serves as notice to the purchaser of the transfer and resale restrictions described in the following legend:

 

“EXCEPT IN THE PROVINCE OF MANITOBA, IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL INSTRUMENT 45-102 – RESALE OF SECURITIES, UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED UNDER CANADIAN SECURITIES LEGISLATION, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS FOUR MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE LATER OF (I) THE DATE ON WHICH THE SECURITY IS ISSUED; AND (II) THE DATE THE ISSUER BECOMES A REPORTING ISSUER IN ANY PROVINCE OR TERRITORY OF CANADA.

 

IN THE PROVINCE OF MANITOBA, UNLESS OTHERWISE PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE CANADIAN SECURITIES LAWS OR WITH THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF THE APPLICABLE REGULATORS, THE HOLDER OF THIS SECURITY MUST NOT TRADE THE SECURITY BEFORE THE DATE THAT IS TWELVE MONTHS AND A DAY AFTER THE DATE THE PURCHASER ACQUIRED THE SECURITY”.

 

 

 
- 27 -

 

 
 

Purchasers are advised that NT III currently does not intend to file a prospectus or similar document with any securities regulatory authority in Canada qualifying the resale of the Notes to the public in any Province or Territory of Canada in connection with the offering.

 

There is currently no secondary market for the Notes. There can be no assurance that a secondary market will develop or, if a secondary market does develop, that it will provide holders of the Notes with liquidity for their investment or that it will continue for the life of the Notes. Accordingly, purchasers of the Notes may be required to bear the financial risk of investing in the Notes until the Maturity Date.

   

Representations of Purchasers:  

Each Canadian purchaser by purchasing Notes in Canada and accepting a purchase confirmation will be deemed to have represented to NT III and any Agent participating in the offer and sale of the Notes that:


 

a.

  a.  

has been notified by NT III:

- 29 -

 

 
     

Each purchaser will, by purchasing Notes and accepting a purchase confirmation, be deemed to have represented to NT III and any Agent particpating in the offer and sale of the Notes that it is not a U.S. person and it is not purchasing the Notes for the account or benefit of a U.S. person or a person in the United States.

Kimco has sought and obtained a waiver or consent (as the case may be) from the requisite majority of holders of each series of securities issued under the Kimco Indenture in respect of a default thereunder or an amendment to the terms or conditions thereof (as the case may be); and

       
    b.

then, notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price, the “Canada Yield Price” shall be, in relation to any Notes being redeemed, the price, on any date (which in the case of any calculation of the Make-Whole Amount hereunder shall be the date the redemption notice is given), in respect of any principal amount of such Notes, or of the portion of such Notes being redeemed, outstanding on such date, necessary to provide a yield on such principal amount from the applicable redemption date to the day of maturity of such series of Notes equal to the Government of Canada Yield plus 100 basis points.

Purchasers Contractual and Statutory Rights of Action

 

Rights for Purchasers in Ontario

 

Securities legislation in Ontario provides an Ontario purchaser (other than (a) a “Canadian financial institution” or a “Schedule III bank” (each as defined in National Instrument 45-106 – Prospectus and Registration Exemptions (“ NI 45-106 ”)), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) with a statutory right of action for damages or rescission against an issuer and any selling security holder where the related offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation without regard to whether the purchaser relied on the misrepresentation. The right of action for damages is exercisable not later than the earlier of 180 days from the date the purchaser first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action and three years from the date on which payment is made for the securities. The right of action for rescission is exercisable not later than 180 days from the date on which payment is made for the securities. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the issuer or any selling security holder. In no case will the amount recoverable in any action exceed the price at which the securities were offered to the purchaser and if the purchaser is shown to have purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation, the issuer and any selling security holder will have no liability. In the case of an action for damages, the issuer and any selling security holder will not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that are proven to not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon.

 

Rights for Purchasers in Saskatchewan  

 

The Securities Act, 1988 (Saskatchewan) (the “ Saskatchewan Act ”) provides that where an offering memorandum, together with any amendment to the offering memorandum, sent or delivered to a purchaser contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases a security covered by the offering memorandum or an amendment to the offering memorandum is deemed to have relied on that misrepresentation, if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase, and has a right of action for damages against (a) the issuer or a selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution is made, (b) every promoter and director of the issuer or the selling security holder, as the case may be, at the time the offering memorandum or any amendment thereof was sent or delivered, (c) every person or company whose consent has been filed respecting the offering, but only with respect to reports, opinions or statements that have been made by them, (d) every person or company that, in addition to those mentioned in (a) to (c) above, signed the offering memorandum or the amendment thereof and (e) every person or company that sells securities on behalf of the issuer or selling security holder under the offering memorandum or amendment thereof, where an offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation. In addition, such a purchaser that purchases the security from the issuer or a selling securityholder may elect to exercise a right of rescission against such person where an offering memorandum contains a misrepresentation and, when the purchaser so elects, the purchaser shall have no right of action for damages against such person.

 

The Saskatchewan Act provides further that (a) where an individual makes a verbal statement to a prospective purchaser that contains a misrepresentation relating to the security purchased and the verbal statement is made either before or contemporaneously with the purchase of the security, the purchaser is deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation, if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase, and has a right of action for damages against the individual who made the verbal statement, (b) a purchaser of a security from a vendor who is trading in Saskatchewan in contravention of the Saskatchewan Act, the regulations thereunder or a decision of the Saskatchewan Financial Services Commission, whether that vendor is trading on his own behalf or by another person or agent on his behalf, may elect to void the contract and, if the purchaser so elects, the purchaser is entitled to recover all money and other consideration paid by him to the vendor pursuant to the trade and (c) if the distribution of securities has not been completed and (i) there is a material change in the affairs of the issuer, (ii) it is proposed that the terms or conditions of the offering described in the offering memorandum be altered or (iii) securities are to be distributed in addition to the securities previously described in the offering memorandum, and an amendment to the offering memorandum is not sent or delivered in accordance with the Saskatchewan Act, the purchaser has a right of action for rescission or damages against the dealer or offeror that failed to comply with the applicable requirement.

  

 
- 40 -

 

 

Subject to the Saskatchewan Act, these statutory rights are exercisable, in the case of an action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or, in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (a) one year after the plaintiff first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action and (b) six years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of the action.

 

Rights for Purchasers in New Brunswick

 

New Brunswick securities legislation provides investors who purchase securities offered for sale in reliance on the exemption in Section 2.3 of NI 45-106 with a statutory right of action against the issuer and a selling security holder of securities for damages or against the seller of securities only, for rescission, in the event that any information relating to the offering provided to the purchaser contains a misrepresentation. Where an offering memorandum is delivered to a prospective purchaser of securities in connection with a trade made in reliance on the exemption in Section 2.3 of NI 45-106, and the document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the securities is deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation and has, subject to certain limitations and defences, a statutory right of action against the issuer and a selling security holder on whose behalf the distribution was made for damages or, while still the owner of securities, against the seller of securities for rescission. If the purchaser elects to exercise the right of rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages. The right of action will be exercisable by the purchaser only if the purchaser gives notice to the defendant, in the case of any action for rescission, not more than 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action, that the purchaser is exercising this right and, in the case of any action for damages, before the earlier of (a) one year after the plaintiff first had knowledge of the facts giving rise to the cause of action and (b) six years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action.

 

The liability of all persons and companies referred to above is joint and several. A defendant is not liable for a misrepresentation if it proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation. In an action for damages, the defendant shall not be liable for all or any portion of the damages that the defendant proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon. In no case shall the amount recoverable for the misrepresentation exceed the price at which the securities were offered.

 

Rights for Purchasers in Nova Scotia  

 

Nova Scotia securities legislation provides that if an offering memorandum or any advertising or sales literature (as defined in the Securities Act (Nova Scotia)) contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser of securities is deemed to have relied upon such misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has, subject to certain limitations and defences, a statutory right of action for damages against the seller of such securities, the directors of the seller and the persons who have signed the offering memorandum or, alternatively, while still the owner of the securities, may elect instead to exercise a statutory right of rescission against the seller, in which case the purchaser shall have no right of action for damages against the seller, the directors of the seller or the persons who have signed the offering memorandum. The rights described above are subject to certain limitations, including: (a) no action may be commenced to enforce the right of action for rescission or damages by a purchaser resident in Nova Scotia later than 120 days after the date payment was made for the securities (or after the date on which initial payment was made for the securities where payments subsequent to the initial payment are made pursuant to a contractual commitment assumed prior to, or concurrently with, the initial payment); (b) no person will be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (c) in the case of an action for damages, no person will be liable for all or any portion of the damages that it proves do not represent the depreciation in value of the securities; and (d) in no case will the amount recoverable in any action exceed the price at which the securities were offered to the purchaser.

The liability of all persons or companies referred to above is joint and several with respect to the same cause of action.

 

The foregoing summary is subject to the express provisions of the Securities Act (Ontario), the Securities Act (New Brunswick), the Saskatchewan Act and the Securities Act (Nova Scotia) and the rules and regulations thereunder and reference is made thereto for the complete text of such provisions.

 

Manitoba, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador Purchasers

 

In Manitoba, the Securities Act (Manitoba), in Prince Edward Island, the Securities Act (PEI) and in Newfoundland and Labrador, the Securities Act (Newfoundland and Labrador) provide a statutory right of action for damages or rescission to purchasers resident in Manitoba, PEI and Newfoundland and Labrador, respectively, in circumstances where an offering memorandum or an amendment hereto contains a misrepresentation, which rights are similar, but not identical, to the rights available to Ontario purchasers. Manitoba, PEI and Newfoundland and Labrador purchasers should refer to the complete text of the relevant statutory provisions.

 

The rights discussed above are in addition to and without derogation from any other right or remedy which purchasers may have at law and are intended to correspond to the provisions of the relevant securities legislation and are subject to the defences contained therein.

 

Contractual Rights of Action

 

A contractual right of action for rescission or damages which is the same as the statutory right of action for rescission or damages provided to purchasers of the Notes resident in the Province of Ontario (as discussed above) will be provided to purchasers of the Notes resident in the Provinces of Alberta, British Columbia and Québec, and will be conferred by the issuance of a purchase confirmation in respect of the Notes by the Agents to such purchasers. Such contractual rights of action for rescission or damages are in addition to and without derogation from any other rights or remedies the purchaser may have at law.

Series 4 3.855% Notes Maturing August 4, 2020

 

Kimco North Trust III, a New York Trust (hereinafter called the "Issuer", which term includes any successor under the Indenture herein referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CDS & CO. as the nominee for CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. ("CDS"), the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED MILLION CANADIAN DOLLARS (Cdn $200,000,000) on August 4, 2020 and to pay Interest thereon after as well as before maturity, default and judgment from the Original Issue Date, being July 22, 2013 or from the most recent date in respect of which Interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on February 4 and August 4 in each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"), commencing February 4, 2014, at the rate of 3.855% per annum (calculated on the basis of a year of 365 days or 366 days, as the case may be), until the Maturity Consideration hereof is paid or duly made available for payment and, should the Issuer at any time make default in the payment of any Maturity Consideration or Interest, to pay interest on the amount in default at the same rate and on the same dates in like money. The Interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest, which shall be the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) next preceding such Interest Payment Date; provided however that if the Original Issue Date shown on the face hereof is between a Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date, the first payment of Interest will be on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date to the Holder on the Regular Record Date prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will include accrued Interest from and including the Original Issue Date or from and including the day immediately preceding the preceding Interest Payment Date, as the case may be, to but excluding the Interest Payment Date. Subject to the terms of the Indenture, any such Interest which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may be paid to the Person in whose name this Note (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Issuer, notice whereof shall be given to the Holder of this Note not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner, as more fully provided in such Indenture; provided however, that where a transfer of this Note occurs between the last Regular Record Date and the Special Record Date, such Defaulted Interest and the amount of any Interest thereon, if applicable, shall be paid to the Holder of this Note as of the Regular Record Date immediately prior to such Special Record Date.

 

Payment of the Maturity Consideration of and the Interest on this Note will be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in Toronto, Ontario in such coin or currency of Canada as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of Interest may be made at the option of the Issuer by cheque mailed or such other method permitted by CDS made to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by wire transfer in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

 

This Note is one of the Series 4 3.855% Notes Maturing August 4, 2020 (the "Note"). This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Issuer, issued and to be issued under a fourth supplemental indenture dated as of July 22, 2013 to the Indenture, dated as of April 21, 2005 and supplemented as of June 2, 2006, as of August 16, 2006 and as of April 13, 2010, (collectively, as may be from time to time amended, restated or supplemented, herein called the "Indenture") between the Issuer, Kimco Realty Corporation, as guarantor (the "Guarantor") and BNY Trust Company of Canada, as trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture). Reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities (including this Note), and the terms upon which the Securities (including this Note) are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered, all to the same effect as if the provisions of the Indenture were herein set forth, to all of which the Holder by acceptance hereof accepts. All capitalized terms used in this Note which are defined in the Indenture, but not in this Note, shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

The Issuer shall have the right (the “Redemption Right”), at its option and in accordance with Article 11 of the Indenture, to redeem at any time and from time to time prior to the Maturity, upon not more than 60 days’ nor less than 30 days’ prior notice, the whole or any part of such Notes then outstanding, on a pro rata basis, at the Redemption Price. The Redemption Price in respect of the Notes shall be calculated as the principal amount outstanding on the Notes to be redeemed plus the Make-Whole Amount, if any, on such amount, together, in each case, with all interest accrued and remaining unpaid to and including the Redemption Date.

 

Canada Yield Price ” in relation to any Notes being redeemed, means the price, on any date (which in the case of any calculation of the Make-Whole Amount hereunder shall be the date the redemption notice is given), in respect of any principal amount of such Notes, or of the portion of such Notes being redeemed, outstanding on such date, necessary to provide a yield on such principal amount from the applicable redemption date to the day of maturity of the Notes equal to the Government of Canada Yield plus 45 basis points.

“Government of Canada Yield” on any date means, in the case of any Notes, the arithmetical average of the mid-market yield to maturity on such date, assuming semi-annual compounding, expressed as a rate per annum, which the applicable Government of Canada Bond would carry if issued in Canadian dollars in Canada at 100% of its principal amount on such date with a term to maturity equal to the remaining term of such Notes quoted by two major Canadian investment dealers selected by the Issuer from amongst Scotia Capital Inc., RBC Dominion Securities Inc., CIBC World Markets Inc., National Bank Financial Inc. or any of their successors and any other investment dealer which is a member of the Investment Dealers Association of Canada selected by the Issuer and approved by the Trustee, acting reasonably.

 

Make-Whole Amount ” in respect of any given principal amount of Notes means, at any given time, the amount, if any, by which (i) the Canada Yield Price in respect of such principal amount exceeds (ii) such principal amount.

 

Where the Issuer exercises its Redemption Right in circumstances where:

 

(1)     the Guarantor has sought and obtained a waiver or consent (as the case may be) from the requisite majority of holders of each series of securities issued under the Guarantor Indenture in respect of a default thereunder or an amendment to the terms or conditions thereof (as the case may be); and

 

(2)     the requisite majority of holders of the Notes have refused to grant such a waiver or consent in circumstances where they have been offered the equivalent cash or non-cash consideration or any other accommodation (if any) to the extent applicable as that offered the holders referred to in (1) above;

 

then, notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price, the "Canada Yield Price" shall be, in relation to any Notes being redeemed, the price, on any date (which in the case of any calculation of the Make-Whole Amount hereunder shall be the date the redemption notice is given), in respect of any principal amount of such Notes, or of the portion of such Notes being redeemed, outstanding on such date, necessary to provide a yield on such principal amount from the applicable Redemption Date to the day of maturity of the Notes equal to the Government of Canada Yield plus 100 basis points.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities (including this Note) shall occur and be continuing, the principal of this Note may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the Guarantor and the rights of the Holders of the Securities to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities, to waive compliance by the Issuer and the Guarantor with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

 

Except as provided in Sections 3.5, 3.7 and 3.8 of the Indenture, with respect to the payment of Interest, and except as provided herein, no reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and Interest on this Note, at the time, place, and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

Such fully certificated Securities shall be registered in such name or names as the Clearing Agency shall instruct the Issuer and the Trustee. If fully certificated Securities are so delivered, the Issuer may make such changes to the form of this Note as are necessary or appropriate to allow for the issuance of such fully certificated Securities.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Issuer and/or the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
