• 18% of July and 24% of second quarter 2020 rents are subject to signed or approved deferral agreements to date.

"During these unprecedented times, our operating platform continues to reflect our active hands-on approach and strong tenant relationships," said Brian Harper, President and CEO. “92% of our tenants are now open, which has translated into improving July rent collections and facilitated deferral arrangements covering the vast majority of our uncollected rents. The decision to shore up our already strong liquidity position at the outset of the pandemic is allowing us to focus on operations as we continue to build a pathway to normal rent collections, while also positioning us to play offense as demonstrated by the new grocer deals that are under negotiation.”
