SITE Centers Provides Fourth Quarter 2020 Operational Update

BEACHWOOD, Ohio–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SITE Centers Corp. (NYSE: SITC) today provided an update on fourth quarter 2020 operations as part of presentations to certain investors at the Capital One Securities REIT Conference.

“We had a strong fourth quarter to end the year with continued positive progress on tenant collections as well as achieving the highest quarterly leasing volume at the Company’s share since the third quarter of 2018,” commented David R. Lukes, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Additionally, our leasing pipeline continues to grow, and I would expect continued progress backfilling existing vacancies in 2021 as retailers target locations in the highest-income suburban communities where our properties are located.”

As of January 7, 2021, the Company’s tenants had paid approximately 75%, 86% and 93% of aggregate base rents for the second, third and fourth quarters of 2020, respectively, in each case on a pro rata basis. Additionally, all of the Company’s properties remain open and operational with 98% of tenants, at the Company’s share and based on average base rents, open for business.

The investor presentation will be posted on the Company’s website at www.sitecenters.com under the “Investor Relations” tab on January 12, 2021 prior to the commencement of management’s presentations.
