Material Changes Versus Prior Period
The Company replaced its existing ATM program (the "Prior ATM Program") with a new, larger program.
- Capacity Increase: The new program allows for up to $400 million in sales, replacing the Prior ATM Program which had a remaining capacity of only $34.5 million.

Guidance, Outlook, and Management Commentary
Use of Proceeds: The Company intends to use net proceeds from any sales for general corporate purposes, including:
- Development or acquisition of additional portfolio properties.
- Expansion and improvement of existing centers.
- Investments in joint ventures.
- Repayment of secured or unsecured indebtedness (including lines of credit, senior notes, or term loans).
- Working capital.
Settlement Terms: The Company expects to physically settle forward sale agreements by delivering Common Shares within two years of entry. However, the Company retains the option to cash settle or net share settle, which could result in no proceeds received or an obligation to pay cash/shares to Forward Purchasers.
Discretion: The Company has no obligation to sell any securities and may suspend offers at any time based on market conditions and capital needs.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the current trading price of SKT to assess potential dilution from the $400 million ATM capacity.
- Review the settlement dates for the 1,915,762 Outstanding Forward Shares ($69.7 million) to understand future share issuance obligations.
- Monitor subsequent filings (e.g., 10-Q, 10-K) to determine if proceeds are used for debt reduction or new acquisitions.
- Check for any future 8-K filings indicating the actual execution of sales under the new ATM program.
