Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements made in this press release may be deemed
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although Simon Property
Group, Inc. (the "Company") believes the expectations reflected in
any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions,
the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be
attained, and it is possible that the Company's actual results may
differ materially from those indicated by these forward–looking
statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other
factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to: changes in
economic and market conditions that may adversely affect the
general retail environment, including but not limited to those
caused by inflation, recessionary pressures, wars, escalating
geopolitical tensions as a result of the war in Ukraine and the conflicts in the Middle East, and supply chain disruptions; the
inability to renew leases and relet vacant space at existing
properties on favorable terms; the inability to collect rent due to
the bankruptcy or insolvency of tenants or otherwise; the potential
loss of anchor stores or major tenants; an increase in vacant space
at its properties; the potential for violence, civil unrest,
criminal activity or terrorist activities at its properties;
natural disasters; the availability of comprehensive insurance
coverage; the intensely competitive market environment in the
retail industry, including e-commerce; security breaches that could
compromise its information technology or infrastructure; reducing
emissions of greenhouse gases; environmental liabilities; its
international activities subjecting it to risks that are different
from or greater than those associated with its domestic operations,
including changes in foreign exchange rates; its continued ability
to maintain its status as a REIT; changes in tax laws or
regulations that result in adverse tax consequences; risks
associated with the acquisition, development, redevelopment,
expansion, leasing and management of properties; the inability to
lease newly developed properties on favorable terms; the loss of
key management personnel; uncertainties regarding the impact of
pandemics, epidemics or public health crises, and the associated
governmental restrictions on its business, financial condition,
results of operations, cash flow and liquidity; changes in market
rates of interest; the impact of its substantial indebtedness on
its future operations, including covenants in the governing
agreements that impose restrictions on it that may affect its
ability to operate freely; any disruption in the financial markets
that may adversely affect its ability to access capital for growth
and satisfy its ongoing debt service requirements; any change in
its credit rating; risks relating to its joint venture properties,
including guarantees of certain joint venture indebtedness; and
general risks related to real estate investments, including the
illiquidity of real estate investments.
The Company discusses these and other risks and uncertainties
under the heading "Risk Factors" in its annual and quarterly
periodic reports filed with the SEC. The Company may update that
discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but except as
required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to
update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a
