The Company does have the right, at its option, to net settle this agreement in shares or cash prior to its expiration, but does not expect to do so.

2017 Guidance

The Company's initial 2017 guidance is as follows:

The guidance is based, in part, on the following assumptions:

• Same-property NOI –NOI growth of negative (1.0)% to (2.0)%, attributable principally to downtime associated with the vacant anchors previously disclosed, proactively pursuing the re-tenanting and re-merchandising at certain properties, and related temporary co-tenancy rent reductions
• Acquisitions – includes acquisition of Christina Crossing in Wilmington, Delaware for $29.3 million (closed February 22, 2017)
• Dispositions – includes sale of Camp Hill outparcel building for $10.7 million (closed on February 1, 2017) and sale of Upland Square for $83.3 million closed in late 2016 (closed on November 2, 2016)
• Guidance range will be updated quarterly for the closing of any additional acquisitions and dispositions

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

NAREIT-defined FFO (FFO) is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP measure utilized to evaluate the financial performance of a REIT. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate measure of its financial performance because it captures features particular to real estate performance by recognizing that real estate generally appreciates over time or maintains residual value to a much greater extent than other depreciable assets. The Company also considers Operating FFO to be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance because it excludes items the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, such as acquisition pursuit costs, amounts relating to early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock redemption costs, management transition costs and certain redevelopment costs. The Company believes Operating FFO further assists in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items. FFO and Operating FFO should be reviewed with GAAP net income attributable to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when trying to understand the Company's operating performance. A reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO and Operating FFO for the three months and full years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is detailed in the attached schedule.

EBITDA is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP financial measure.  The Company computes EBITDA as net income from continuing operations, plus interest expense (including early extinguishment of debt costs), depreciation and amortization, minority interests' share of consolidated joint venture EBITDA, and discontinued operations. The Company believes EBITDA provides additional information with respect to the Company's performance and ability to meet its future debt service requirements. The Company also considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an additional meaningful financial measure of financial performance because it excludes items the Company does not believe are indicative of its core operating performance, such as acquisition pursuit costs, gain on sales, impairment provisions and management transition costs. The Company believes Adjusted EBITDA further assists in comparing the Company's performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding such items. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should be reviewed with GAAP net income from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when trying to understand the Company's operating performance.

Same-property NOI is a widely recognized supplemental non-GAAP financial measure for REITs.  Properties are included in same-property NOI if they are owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared, except for properties undergoing significant redevelopment and expansion until such properties have stabilized, and properties classified as held for sale. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from same-property NOI. The Company considers same-property NOI useful to investors as it provides an indication of the recurring cash generated by the Company's properties by excluding certain non-cash revenues and expenses, as well as other infrequent items such as lease termination income which tends to fluctuate more than rents from year to year. Same property NOI should be reviewed with consolidated operating income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
