(“Company”), a Maryland Corporation, is a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), engaged in the acquisition, ownership and management of commercial real estate, primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers in the metropolitan tri-state area outside of the City of New York.

COVID-19 Pandemic
On March 11, 2020, the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic (“COVID-19 pandemic”) by the World Health Organization as the disease spread throughout the world. During March 2020, measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19 were initiated, with federal, state and local government agencies issuing regulatory orders enforcing social distancing and limiting certain business operations and group gatherings in order to further prevent the spread of COVID-19. While these regulatory orders vary by state and have changed over time, as of April 30, 2022 all of our tenants’ businesses are operating normally. We have seen foot traffic, retail activity and general business conditions for most of our tenants essentially return to pre-pandemic levels. The pandemic is still ongoing, however, with existing and new variants making the situation difficult to predict.
