Seritage Growth Properties (NYSE: SRG) posts Q2 2026 loss but secures new loans
Seritage Growth Properties reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $7.4 million for the quarter and $38.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with losses of $29.7 million and $53.2 million in the prior-year periods. Total revenue declined to $1.9 million for the quarter and $3.9 million year-to-date, down from $4.7 million and $9.3 million, reflecting continued asset sales and a smaller portfolio.
Total assets were $353.6 million and shareholders’ equity $292.2 million at June 30, 2026, with 56.3 million Class A common shares and 2.8 million Series A preferred shares outstanding. The portfolio consisted of interests in nine properties totaling about 0.8 million square feet and 139 acres, as the company continues to execute its approved Plan of Sale.
Operating activities used $7.3 million of cash in the first half, while investing activities provided $12.0 million, mainly from real estate and joint venture asset sales. Seritage recorded $15.2 million of impairment on real estate and $5.2 million of other-than-temporary impairment on unconsolidated investments year-to-date. Subsequent to quarter-end, it repaid the remaining $50 million term loan using a new $15 million real estate term loan, a $25 million revolving loan and cash on hand, and management concluded that these plans alleviate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Positive
- Going-concern risk alleviated: After refinancing its $50 million term loan with a new $15 million real estate loan and a $25 million revolver maturing in 2028, management concluded that available liquidity and expected cash flows now alleviate substantial doubt about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
- Debt maturity profile extended: The new Real Estate Loan and Revolver both mature on July 24, 2028 with a one-year extension option, replacing a term loan that was previously scheduled to mature on July 31, 2026 and reducing near-term refinancing pressure.
Negative
- Revenue sharply lower: Total revenue fell to $3.9 million for the first half of 2026 from $9.3 million a year earlier, reflecting a significantly smaller income-producing portfolio while fixed costs, including $10.4 million of general and administrative expense, remain substantial.
- Continued net losses and cash burn: The company posted a six‑month net loss of $36.4 million and used $7.3 million of cash in operating activities, indicating that rental income does not cover property, corporate and interest obligations.
- Material impairment charges: Seritage recorded $15.2 million of impairment on real estate assets and $5.2 million of other‑than‑temporary impairment on unconsolidated investments in the first half of 2026, signaling reduced expected recoveries from parts of its remaining portfolio.
Filing Explained
The completed refinancing removed the July 31 maturity, while $10 million of the new revolving facility remains available capacity rather than funded cash.
This Form 10-Q is an unaudited quarterly report. The filing records the refinancing entered on
The
A specific liquidity watch item is that the company reports no assets under contract with closings deemed probable within the next 12 months, while expecting to fund obligations and certain development expenditures from cash on hand, the remaining revolver capacity, rental income, and asset sales. The filing also states that no Class A common dividend was declared during 2026 or 2025.

SERITAGE GROWTH PROPERTIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1 – Organization
Seritage Growth Properties (“Seritage”) (NYSE: SRG), was formed as a Maryland real estate investment trust on June 3, 2015, operated as a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined under Section 856(c) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) from formation through December 31, 2021. On March 31, 2022, Seritage revoked its REIT election and became a taxable C Corporation effective January 1, 2022. Seritage’s assets are held by and its operations are primarily conducted, directly or indirectly, through Seritage Growth Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). Under the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, Seritage, as the sole general partner, has exclusive responsibility and discretion in the management and control of the Operating Partnership. Unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires, the “Company” and “Seritage” refer to Seritage, the Operating Partnership and its owned and controlled subsidiaries.
Prior to the adoption of the Company’s Plan of Sale (defined below), Seritage was principally engaged in the ownership, development, redevelopment, management, sale and leasing of diversified retail and mixed-use properties throughout the United States. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s portfolio consisted of interests in
The Company commenced operations on July 7, 2015 following a rights offering to the shareholders of Sears Holdings Corporation (“Sears Holdings” or “Sears”) to purchase common shares of Seritage in order to fund, in part, the $
On March 1, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees had commenced a process to review a broad range of strategic alternatives. The Board of Trustees created a Special Committee (the “Special Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Trustees to oversee the process. The Special Committee retained Barclays Capital, Inc. (“Barclays”) as its financial advisor. The agreement with Barclays expired in August 2023. The Company’s strategic review process remains ongoing as the Company executes sales pursuant to the Plan of Sale, and the Company remains open minded to pursuing value maximizing alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction or that the Company will be successful in fully executing the Plan of Sale. The Board of Trustees is currently overseeing the Plan of Sale.
On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees, with the recommendation of the Special Committee, approved a plan to terminate the Company’s REIT status and become a taxable C Corporation, effective for the year ended December 31, 2022. As a result, the Company is no longer required to operate under REIT rules, including the requirement to distribute at least
As a result of the Company’s change in corporate structure to a taxable C Corporation effective January 1, 2022, the Company incurred a one-time, non-cash deferred tax benefit of approximately $
The Company sought a shareholder vote to approve a proposed plan of sale of the Company’s assets and dissolution (the “Plan of Sale”) that would allow the Board of Trustees to sell all of the Company’s assets, distribute the net proceeds to shareholders and dissolve the Company. The Plan of Sale is expected to increase the universe of potential buyers by allowing Seritage and potential buyers to enter into and complete value maximizing transactions without subjecting any such transaction to the delay and conditionality associated with having to seek and obtain shareholder approval. On July 6, 2022, Edward Lampert, the Company’s former Chairman, entered into a Voting and Support Agreement under which he exchanged his equity interest in the Operating Partnership for Class A common shares and agreed to vote his shares in favor of the Plan of Sale. As of June 30, 2026, Mr. Lampert owns approximately
- 8 -
The affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of all outstanding common shares of the Company was required to approve the Plan of Sale. The 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders occurred on October 24, 2022, following the Company's filing of a final proxy statement with the SEC on September 14, 2022. During the meeting, the Plan of Sale was approved by the shareholders. The strategic review process remains ongoing as the Company executes the Plan of Sale, and the Company remains open minded to pursuing value maximizing alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction or that the Company will be successful in fully executing on the Plan of Sale. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Business and Operations — There can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any transaction or any strategic change on terms satisfactory to the Board of Trustees.” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, (the “Annual Report”) for the year ended December 31, 2025.
Liquidity
The Company’s primary uses of cash include the payment of property operating and other expenses, including general and administrative expenses and debt service (collectively, “Obligations”), and certain development expenditures. Property rental income, which is the Company’s primary source of operating cash flow, did not fully fund Obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2026, and the Company recorded net operating cash outflows of $
Obligations are projected to continue to exceed property rental income and the Company expects to fund such costs with a combination of capital sources including, but not limited to, cash on hand, sales of Consolidated Properties and sales of Unconsolidated Properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company sold one Consolidated Property for gross proceeds of $
Going Concern
In accordance with ASC 205-40, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern, for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. As part of this evaluation, the Company takes into consideration all Obligations and certain development expenditures due within the subsequent 12 months, as well as cash on hand and expected cash receipts, plus drawdowns from our new revolving loan facility as described below.
In the prior period ended March 31, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company concluded that management’s plans did not alleviate substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern because anticipated proceeds from asset sales and cash on hand were insufficient to meet its obligations, including the Term Loan Facility that was scheduled to mature on
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company sold one Consolidated Property for gross proceeds of $
The Company does not currently have any assets under contract with closings that are deemed probable within the 12 month period. As the outstanding balance of the new term loan facility and the revolving loan facility is not due within the one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, they are not factored into the Company’s analysis as current obligations.
- 9 -
Management estimates existing cash on hand, the ability to draw on the remaining unfunded Revolver, and expected rental income would allow the Company to fund its Obligations and certain development expenditures. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern as of June 30, 2026.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
These condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, (the “Annual Report”), for the year ended December 31, 2025. Certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in our Annual Report have been condensed or omitted from this quarterly report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation (which include only normal recurring adjustments) have been included in this quarterly report. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 may not be indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2026. Capitalized terms used, but not defined in this quarterly report, have the same meanings as set forth in our Annual Report.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their consolidated properties, and all other entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. For entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”), the Company consolidates such entities when the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary when it possesses both the unilateral power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company continually evaluates whether it qualifies as the primary beneficiary and reconsiders its determination of whether an entity is a VIE upon reconsideration events. As of December 31, 2025, the Company consolidated
To the extent such variable interests are in entities that are not evaluated under the VIE model, the Company evaluates its interests using the voting interest entity model.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company, and its wholly owned subsidiaries, holds a
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to real estate impairment assessments and assessing the recoverability of accounts receivable. These estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions which management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. Management evaluates its estimates on an ongoing basis and makes revisions to these estimates and related disclosures as experience develops or new information becomes known. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Segment Reporting
Given the continued decline in size of the portfolio and the continued progression of the Plan of Sale, the Company has concluded that they have
Real Estate
- 10 -
Real estate assets are recorded at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization.
Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance will be expensed as incurred. Significant renovations which improve the property or extend the useful life of the assets are capitalized. To the extent any real estate is undergoing redevelopment activities, all amounts directly associated with and attributable to the project, including planning, development and construction costs, interest costs, personnel costs of employees directly involved, and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the period of redevelopment, are capitalized and classified as construction in progress. The capitalization period begins when redevelopment activities are underway and ends when the project is substantially complete. Capitalized costs remain in construction in progress until such time as the project is completed and placed in service, the project is abandoned, the asset is classified as held for sale or the asset is sold.
Depreciation of real estate assets, excluding land, is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives which generally range between:
Building and building improvements: |
|
Land improvements: |
|
Tenant improvements: |
shorter of the estimated useful life or non-cancelable term of lease |
The Company amortizes identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired, generally the remaining non-cancelable term of a related lease.
The Company, on a periodic basis, assesses whether there are indicators that the value of the real estate assets may be impaired. If an indicator is identified, management will estimate the real estate asset recoverability based on projected operating cash flows (undiscounted and unleveraged), taking into account the anticipated holding period and capitalization rates, to determine if the undiscounted cash flows are less than a real estate asset’s carrying value. In estimating the fair value of an asset, various factors are considered, including expected future operating income, trends and leasing prospects, including the effects of demand, competition, and other economic factors, such as discount rates and market comparables. If the carrying value of an asset exceeds the undiscounted cash flows, an analysis is performed to determine the estimated fair value of the real estate asset. Changes in any estimates and/or assumptions, including the anticipated holding period, could have a material impact on the projected cash flows. If management determines that the carrying value of a real estate asset is impaired, a loss will be recorded for the excess of its carrying amount over its estimated fair value. The Company recognized impairment losses of $
Real Estate Dispositions
When the Company disposes of all or a portion of a real estate asset, it recognizes a gain or loss on sale of real estate as the difference between the carrying value and consideration received. Consideration consists of cash proceeds received and in certain circumstances, non-cash consideration when a property is contributed to an investment in unconsolidated entity. Gains and losses from the disposition of real estate are recorded as gain (loss) on sale of real estate on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 4 for more information on the Company’s unconsolidated entity transactions.
The following table summarizes the Company’s gain on sale of real estate during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 (in thousands):

Real Estate Held for Sale
When a real estate asset is identified by management as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciation of the asset and estimates its fair value, net of estimated costs to sell. If the estimated fair value, net of estimated costs to sell, of an asset is less than its net carrying value, an adjustment is recorded to reflect the estimated fair value. Properties classified as real estate held for sale generally represent properties that are under contract for sale and are expected to close within a year.
- 11 -
In evaluating whether a property meets the held for sale criteria, the Company makes a determination as to the point in time that it is probable that a sale will be consummated. Given the nature of all real estate sales contracts, it is not unusual for such contracts to allow potential buyers a period of time to evaluate the property prior to formal acceptance of the contract. In addition, certain other matters critical to the final sale, such as financing arrangements, often remain pending even upon contract acceptance. As a result, properties under contract may not close within the expected time period or at all.
As of June 30, 2026,
Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company accounts for its investments in Unconsolidated Entities using the equity method of accounting as the Company exercises significant influence but does not have a controlling financial interest. These investments are initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted for cash contributions, cash distributions, and earnings and losses which are recognized in accordance with the terms of the applicable agreement.
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are indicators, including the operating performance of the underlying real estate and general market conditions which include macroeconomic conditions, that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated entities may be impaired. An investment’s value is impaired if management’s estimate of the fair value of the Company’s investment is less than its carrying value and such difference is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over its estimated fair value.
The Company did
Cash and Cash Equivalents
The Company considers instruments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash and cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalent balances may, at a limited number of banks and financial institutions, exceed insurable amounts. The Company believes it mitigates this risk by investing in or through major financial institutions.
Restricted Cash
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, restricted cash represents cash collateral for letters of credit.
Rental Revenue Recognition and Tenant Receivables
Rental income is comprised of base rent and reimbursements of property operating expenses. The Company commences rental revenue recognition when the lessee takes control of the physical use of the leased asset based on an evaluation of several factors. Base rent is recognized on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable terms of the related leases. For leases that have fixed and measurable base rent escalations, the difference between such rental income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease is recorded as straight-line rent receivable and included as a component of tenant and other receivables on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Reimbursement of property operating expenses arises from tenant leases which provide for the recovery of all or a portion of the operating expenses and real estate taxes of the respective property. This revenue is accrued in the same periods as the expenses are incurred.
The Company periodically reviews its receivables for collectability, taking into consideration changes in factors such as the tenant’s payment history, the financial condition of the tenant, business conditions in the industry in which the tenant operates, and economic conditions in the area where the property is located. Tenant receivables, including receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents, are written-off directly when management deems that the collectability of substantially all future lease payments from a specified lease is not probable of collection, at which point, the Company will begin recognizing revenue on a cash basis, based on actual amounts received. Any receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to rental income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. If future circumstances change such that the Company believes that it is reasonably certain that the Company will collect all rental income remaining on such leases, the Company will resume accruing rental income and recognize a cumulative catch up for previously written-off receivables.
- 12 -
In leasing tenant space, the Company may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance. In accounting for a tenant allowance, the Company will determine whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluate the ownership of such improvements. If the Company is considered the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, the Company will capitalize the amount of the tenant allowance and depreciate it over the shorter of the useful life of the improvements or the related lease term. If the tenant allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event the Company is not considered the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, the allowance is considered a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis.
Tenant and Other Receivables
Tenant and other receivables includes unpaid amounts billed to tenants, accrued revenues for future billings to tenants for property expenses, and amounts arising from the straight-lining of rent, as discussed above. Tenant and other receivables also includes management fees receivable for services performed for the benefit of certain unconsolidated entities. In the event that the collectability of a management fee receivable is in doubt, a provision for uncollectible amounts will be established or a direct write-off of the specific receivable will be made.
Management and Other Fee Income
Management and other fee income represents property management, construction, leasing and development fees for services performed for the benefit of certain unconsolidated entities.
Property management fee income is reported at
Leasing and development fees are initially reported at the portion of revenue earned attributable to outside ownership of the related unconsolidated entities. The Company’s share in leasing and development fee income is recognized over the useful life of the associated development project, in the case of development fees, or lease term, in the case of leasing fees, as the associated asset is depreciated over the same term and included in equity in loss of unconsolidated entities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and in other expenses in the combined financial data in Note 4.
Conversely, leasing services are considered to be performance obligations, satisfied as of a point in time. The Company’s leasing fee is typically paid upon the occurrence of certain contractual event(s) that may be contingent and the pattern of revenue recognition may differ from the timing of payment. For these services, the obligations are typically satisfied at lease execution and tenant opening date, and revenue is recognized in accordance with the related agreement at the point in time when the obligation has been satisfied.
Concentration of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk arise when a number of operators, tenants, or obligors related to the Company’s investments are engaged in similar business activities, or activities in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their ability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected by changes in economic conditions. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has
Earnings (Loss) per Share
The Company has three classes of common stock. The rights, including the liquidation and dividend rights, of the holders of the Company’s Class A common shares and Class C non-voting common shares are identical, except with respect to voting. As the liquidation and dividend rights are identical, the undistributed earnings are allocated on a proportionate basis. The net earnings (loss) per share amounts are the same for Class A and Class C common shares because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal

per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation. Since August 29, 2018, all outstanding Class C common shares had been exchanged for Class A common shares and there are currently
Class B non-economic common shares are excluded from earnings per share computations as they do not have economic rights. As of December 31, 2020, all outstanding Class B common shares had been surrendered and there are currently
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, “Clarifying the Effective Date” as an update to ASU 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). ASU 2024-03 requires enhanced disclosures regarding income statement expenses, including disaggregation of significant categories such as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, property operating expenses and employee compensation, within relevant expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statement disclosures.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, “Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow Scope Improvements” (“ASU 2025-11”), which amends the guidance in ASC 270, Interim Reporting. The update enhances interim disclosure requirements by clarifying the information that must be presented in quarterly periods, including improved transparency regarding significant events, accounting policy updates and material developments that occur between annual reporting dates. ASU 2025-11 also aligns certain interim reporting requirements more closely with annual disclosure objectives to promote consistency and comparability. The amendments are effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact on its financial statement disclosures.

Note 4 – Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
The Company conducts a portion of its property rental activities through investments in unconsolidated entities. The Company’s partners in these unconsolidated entities are unrelated real estate entities or commercial enterprises. The Company and its partners in these unconsolidated entities make initial and/or ongoing capital contributions to these unconsolidated entities. The obligations to make capital contributions are governed by each unconsolidated entity’s respective operating agreement and related governing documents.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has investments in five unconsolidated entities as follows:

In certain circumstances, when the Company has contributed properties to unconsolidated entities in exchange for equity interests in those unconsolidated entities, the transaction price attributed to the property at the closing (the “Contribution Value”) is subject to revaluation as defined in the respective unconsolidated entity agreements, which may result in an adjustment to the gain or loss recognized. If the Contribution Value is subject to revaluation, the Company initially recognizes the gain or loss at the value that is the expected amount within the range of possible outcomes and will re-evaluate the expected amount on a quarterly basis through the final determination date.
Upon revaluation, the primary inputs in determining the Contribution Value will be updated for actual results and may result in a cash settlement or capital account adjustment between the unconsolidated entity partners, as well as an adjustment to the initial gain or loss.
- 15 -
Each reporting period, the Company re-analyzes the primary inputs that determine the Contribution Value and the gain or loss for those unconsolidated entities subject to a revaluation. As of June 30, 2026, the Company has one remaining instance where the Contribution Value is subject to a revaluation under certain conditions. The Company did

The Company shares in the profits and losses of these unconsolidated entities generally in accordance with the Company’s respective equity interests. In some instances, the Company may recognize profits and losses related to investment in an unconsolidated entity that differ from the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated entity. This may arise from impairments that the Company recognizes related to its investment that differ from the impairments the unconsolidated entity recognizes with respect to its assets, differences between the Company’s basis in assets it has transferred to the unconsolidated entity and the unconsolidated entity’s basis in those assets or other items. The Company utilizes appraisals and third-party prepared fair value estimates as well as negotiated offers to sell the investments for the impairment analysis. The Company did

Funded amounts under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at an annual rate of
The Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by the Company and, subject to certain exceptions, is required to be guaranteed by all existing and future subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership. The Term Loan Facility is secured on a first lien basis by a pledge of the capital stock of the direct subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership and the guarantors, including its joint venture interests, except as prohibited by the organizational documents of such entities or any joint venture agreements applicable to such entities, and contains a requirement to provide mortgages and other customary collateral upon the breach of certain financial metrics described below, the occurrence and continuation of an event of default and certain other conditions set forth in the Term Loan Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, mortgages were recorded on three Consolidated Properties.
The Term Loan Facility includes certain financial metrics to govern springing collateral requirements and certain covenant exceptions set forth in the Term Loan Agreement, including: (i) a total fixed charge coverage ratio of not less than
The Term Loan Facility contains customary events of default, including (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods) payment default, material inaccuracy of representations or warranties, and bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings. If there is an event of default, the lenders may declare all or any portion of the outstanding indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, exercise any rights they might have under any of the Term Loan Facility documents, and require the Company to pay a default interest rate on overdue amounts equal to

As of June 30, 2026, the Company was not in compliance with certain of the financial metrics described above. As a result, the Company was previously required to receive the consent of Berkshire Hathaway to dispose of assets via sale or contribution to another entity and as of June 16, 2022, Berkshire Hathaway had provided such consent for all such transactions submitted for approval. The Third Term Loan Amendment (defined below), executed on June 16, 2022, eliminates this requirement. The Company believes it is in compliance with all other terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement.
On May 5, 2020, the Operating Partnership and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership and Berkshire Hathaway as initial lender and administrative agent that permits the deferral of payment of interest under the Term Loan Agreement if, as of the first day of each applicable month, (x) the amount of unrestricted and unencumbered (other than liens created under the Term Loan Agreement) cash on hand of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, minus (y) the aggregate amount of anticipated necessary expenditures for such period (such sum, “Available Cash”) is equal to or less than $30.0 million. In such instances, for each interest period, the Operating Partnership is obligated to make payments of interest in an amount equal to the difference between (i) Available Cash and (ii) $20.0 million (provided that such payment shall not exceed the amount of current interest otherwise due under the Term Loan Agreement). Any deferred interest shall accrue interest at
Additionally, the Term Loan Amendment provides that the administrative agent and the lenders express their continued support for asset dispositions, subject to the administrative agent’s right to approve the terms of individual transactions due to the occurrence of a Financial Metric Trigger Event, as such term is defined under the Term Loan Agreement.
On November 24, 2021, the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Second Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway to which the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway mutually agreed that (i) the “make whole” provision in the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement shall not be applicable to prepayments of principal; and (ii) the Senior Secured Term Loan Agreement, as amended for (i) above, may at the Operating Partnership's election be extended for
On June 16, 2022, the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Third Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway to which the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway mutually agreed that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the asset sale covenant, the parent, borrower, and their respective subsidiaries will be permitted without the consent of the administrative agent to sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of properties (including but not limited to properties or equity interests of any subsidiary) to unaffiliated third parties for no less than fair market value, provided that the borrower deposits all net proceeds received into a controlled account and the use of such net proceeds will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Term Loan Agreement, including but not limited to the restricted payments and investments/loans covenants.
On November 20, 2024, the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Fourth Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway pursuant to which the Operating Partnership, the Company and Berkshire Hathaway mutually agreed that the Term Loan Agreement may, at the Operating Partnership’s election, be extended for

Valuation allowances are recorded related to deferred tax assets based on the “more likely than not” criteria. ASC 740 states that deferred tax assets shall be reduced by a valuation allowance if there is insufficient objectively verifiable evidence to support that it is more likely than not that they will be realized. This evaluation requires significant judgment which should be weighted commensurate with the extent to which the evidence can be objectively verified. Additionally, under ASC 740, forming a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not needed is difficult when there is negative evidence such as cumulative losses in recent years. Given the Company’s history of cumulative losses combined with the fact that the Company’s utilization of deferred tax assets is highly dependent on the outcome of the review of a broad range of strategic alternatives announced by its Board of Trustees and the uncertainty in timing and volume of future property sales, we have deemed that their realization, at this time, cannot be objectively verified. The Company has therefore recorded a full valuation allowance against the Company’s deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2026. The Company will evaluate this position each quarter as verifiable positive evidence becomes available, such as the execution of asset sales, to support the future utilization of the deferred tax assets.

Note 8 – Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement, defines fair value and establishes a framework for measuring fair value. The objective of fair value is to determine the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (the “exit price”). ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value into three levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for assets or liabilities
Level 2 - observable prices based on inputs not quoted in active markets, but corroborated by market data
Level 3 - unobservable inputs used when little or no market data is available
The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to Level 1 inputs and the lowest priority to Level 3 inputs. In determining fair value, the Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible. The Company also considers counterparty credit risk in its assessment of fair value.
Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis
The following tables present the Company's assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 (in thousands), aggregated by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall:

Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
Financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value on the condensed consolidated balance sheets include cash equivalents and the Term Loan Facility. The fair value of the Term Loan Facility is classified as Level 2. Cash equivalents and restricted cash are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. The fair value of debt obligations is calculated by discounting the future contractual cash flows of these instruments using current risk-adjusted rates available to borrowers with similar credit ratings. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the estimated fair values of the Company’s debt obligations were $
Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
Insurance
The Company maintains general liability insurance and all-risk property and rental value, with sub-limits for certain perils such as floods and earthquakes on each of the Company’s properties. The Company also maintains coverage for terrorism acts as defined by Terrorism Risk Insurance Program Reauthorization Act, which expires in December 2027.
- 22 -
Insurance premiums are charged directly to each of the properties. The Company will be responsible for deductibles and losses in excess of insurance coverage, which could be material. The Company continues to monitor the state of the insurance market and the scope and costs of coverage for acts of terrorism. However, the Company cannot anticipate what coverage will be available on commercially reasonable terms in the future.
Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of real property or may have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. As a result, the Company may be liable for certain costs including removal, remediation, government fines and injuries to persons and property.
Litigation and Other Matters
In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, the Company accrues an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and the Company discloses the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued or discloses the fact that such a range of loss cannot be estimated. The Company does not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote.
On July 1, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Zhengxu He, Trustee of the He & Fang 2005 Revocable Living Trust v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:24:CV:05007, alleging that the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer violated the federal securities laws (the “Securities Action”). The complaint seeks to bring a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between July 7, 2022 and May 10, 2024. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false, misleading, and/or omissive disclosures concerning the Company’s alleged lack of effective internal controls regarding the identification and review of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and the Company’s value and projected gross proceeds of certain real estate assets. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an award of reasonable costs and expenses to the plaintiff and class counsel, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. On or around January 15, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned Paul Sidhu v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00152 (the “Sidhu Derivative Action”). On or around January 20, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned James Wallen v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00190 (the “Wallen Derivative Action”). On or around May 8, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Derrick Cheroti v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-vc-00152 (the “Cheroti Derivative Action”). The derivative actions allege the same or similar claimed acts and omissions underlying the Securities Action, assert breach of fiduciary duty and other claims against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Trustees, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint in each of the derivative actions seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an order directing the Company and the individual defendants to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution from the individual defendants, an award of costs and expenses to the plaintiff and reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The complaint in the Cheroti Derivative Action also seeks an award of punitive damages, an order directing the individual defendants to account for all damages caused by them and all profits and special benefits and unjust enrichment obtained, and the imposition of a constructive trust. On September 2, 2025, the court in the Cheroti Derivative Action stayed the Cheroti Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. On November 5, 2025, the court in the District of Maryland proceedings consolidated the Sidhu Derivative Action and the Wallen Derivative Action (the “Consolidated Derivative Action”) and appointed lead counsel. On November 12, 2025, the court in the Consolidated Derivative Action stayed the Consolidated Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in these lawsuits.
In addition to the litigation described above, the Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business and due to the current environment. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows or liquidity of the Company.

Note 14 – Segment Reporting
The Company currently operates in a single reportable segment which includes the ownership, development, redevelopment, management, sale and leasing of real estate properties.
The Company’s CODM regularly reviews the operating results of the Company to determine how to best allocate resources. The Company’s measure of segment profitability is consolidated net loss. The CODM uses consolidated net loss when deciding whether to market a property for sale, make an investment in a property to improve its marketability, or reduce general and administrative expenses. Consolidated net loss is also used to monitor budgeted versus actual results. The measure of segment assets is reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as Total assets.
The table below reconciles total segment revenues to consolidated net loss and includes the significant segment expenses regularly provided to and reviewed by the CODM as part of their decision making process (in thousands):

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Certain statements contained herein constitute forward-looking statements as such term is defined in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They represent our intentions, plans, expectations and beliefs and are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Our future results, financial condition and business may differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. You can find many of these statements by looking for words such as “approximates,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “continue to,” “pro forma” or the opposite of these words and phrases or other similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Many of the factors that will determine the outcome of these and our other forward-looking statements are beyond our ability to control or predict. For further discussion of factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements, see “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. For these statements, we claim the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on our forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to us or any person acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements contained or referred to in this section. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to our forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances occurring after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Part 1 of this Quarterly Report.
Overview
Prior to our adoption of the Plan of Sale, we were principally engaged in the ownership, development, redevelopment, management, sale and leasing of diversified retail and mixed-use properties throughout the United States. As of June 30, 2026, our portfolio consisted of interests in nine properties comprised of approximately 0.8 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) or build-to-suit leased area and 139 acres of land. The portfolio encompasses four consolidated properties consisting of approximately 0.3 million square feet of GLA and 56 acres and five unconsolidated entities consisting of approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA and 83 acres.
Review of Strategic Alternatives
On March 1, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees commenced a process to review a broad range of strategic alternatives to enhance shareholder value. The Board of Trustees created a special committee of the Board of Trustees (the “Special Committee”) to oversee the process. The Special Committee retained Barclays as its financial advisor from March 2022 to August 2023 to assist with the strategic review. The Company sought a shareholder vote to approve a proposed plan of sale of our assets and dissolution (the “Plan of Sale”) that would allow our Board of Trustees to sell all of our assets, distribute the net proceeds to shareholders and dissolve the Company.
The 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders occurred on October 24, 2022, at which time the Plan of Sale was approved by the shareholders, following our filing of a final proxy statement with the SEC on September 14, 2022. See Note 1 – Organization of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information about the Plan of Sale. The strategic review process remains ongoing as the Company executes the Plan of Sale, and the Company remains open minded to pursuing value maximizing alternatives, including a potential sale of the Company. There can be no assurance that the review process will result in any transaction or that the Company will be successful in fully executing on the Plan of Sale. The Board of Trustees is currently overseeing the Plan of Sale.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets and Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
We did not recognize any impairment losses for the three months ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recognized a total of $15.2 million of impairment losses due to a marketed process that resulted in receiving offers below carrying value, which are included in impairment of real estate assets within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, we recognized $5.2 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses on our investments in unconsolidated entities during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which is included in equity in income (loss) of unconsolidated entities within the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We continue to evaluate our portfolio, including our development plans, hold periods and, if applicable, offers received, which may result in additional impairments in future periods on our consolidated properties and investments in unconsolidated entities.
- 27 -
REIT Qualification
On March 31, 2022, the Company announced that its Board of Trustees, with the recommendation of the Special Committee, approved a plan to terminate the Company's REIT status and become a taxable C Corporation effective January 1, 2022. As a result, the Company is no longer required to operate under REIT rules, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of REIT taxable income to its shareholders, which provides the Company with greater flexibility to use its free cash flow. Effective January 1, 2022, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at applicable tax rates and is no longer entitled to a tax deduction for dividends paid. The Company operated as a REIT for the 2021 tax year and prior tax years, and existing REIT requirements and limitations, including those established by the Company’s organizational documents, remained in place through December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 7 – Income Taxes of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Market Update
The Company continues to face challenging market conditions such as elevated interest rates and the availability of debt and equity capital, and it continues to assess other potential macroeconomic impacts including supply chain issues, international conflicts associated with tariffs, potential labor issues, and uncertainty caused by wars. While interest rates have started to decline, they remain high relative to interest rates in 2022. Additionally, raising equity capital for land development deals remains challenging. These conditions could apply downward pricing pressures on our remaining assets. In making decisions regarding whether and when to transact on each of the Company’s remaining assets, the Company considers various factors including, but not limited to, the breadth of the buyer universe, macroeconomic conditions, the availability and cost of financing, as well as corporate, operating and other capital expenses required to carry the asset. If these challenging market conditions persist, then we expect that they will continue to adversely impact the Plan of Sale proceeds from our assets and the amounts and timing of distributions to shareholders.
Business Strategies
The Company’s primary objective is to create value for its shareholders through the monetization of the Company's assets through the Plan of Sale, which can be suspended by the Board of Trustees. We look to enhance sale value through leasing our built footprint, densification of our sites, achievement of entitlements and modification of agreements that govern our properties. We continue to position all remaining assets for sale.
Results of Operations
We derive substantially all of our revenue from rents received from tenants under existing leases at each of our properties. This revenue generally includes fixed base rents and recoveries of expenses that we have incurred and that we pass through to the individual tenants, in each case as provided in the respective leases.
Our primary cash expenses consist of our property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, and construction and development related costs. Property operating expenses include: real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, management fees, insurance, ground lease costs and utilities; general and administrative expenses include payroll, office expenses, professional fees, and other administrative expenses; and interest expense includes interest on our Term Loan Facility. In addition, we incur substantial non-cash charges for depreciation of our properties and amortization of intangible assets and liabilities.

During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company sold its remaining interest in the SPS Portfolio Holdings II LLC joint venture to an affiliate of its joint venture partner and recognized a loss of $1.4 million on the sale.
Impairment of Real Estate Assets
During the six months ended June 30, 2026 the Company recognized a $15.2 million impairment of real estate assets due to a marketed process that resulted in receiving offers below carrying value.
During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized an $18.0 million impairment of real estate assets as a result of the Company agreeing to sell one property at an amount below book value.
Equity in Income (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entities
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, $5.2 million of other-than-temporary impairment losses and a $2.7 million loss on sale of a portion of an Unconsolidated Property were recorded, compared to an $8.5 million other-than-temporary impairment loss recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2025. These factors resulted in a decrease in loss of $0.5 million.
Interest and Other Income (Expense), Net
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, interest and other income decreased by $0.4 million primarily due to holding lower cash balances.
Interest Expense
The decrease of $4.5 million in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2026 was driven by the $150.0 million of Term Loan Facility paydowns made since June 30, 2025.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary uses of cash include the payment of property operating and other expenses, including general and administrative expenses and debt service (collectively, “Obligations”), and certain development expenditures. Property rental income, which is the Company’s primary source of operating cash flow, did not fully fund Obligations during the six months ended June 30, 2026 and the Company recorded net operating cash outflows of $7.3 million. Additionally, the Company generated net investing cash inflows of $12.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2026, which were driven by distributions from unconsolidated entities and sales of real estate partially offset by development expenditures and investments in unconsolidated entities.
- 31 -
Obligations are projected to continue to exceed property rental income and we expect to fund such Obligations and any development expenditures with cash on hand and a combination of capital sources including, but not limited to, sales of Consolidated Properties, sales of interests in Unconsolidated Properties and financing transactions, subject to any approvals that may be required under the loan agreements. Below is our sales activity since we began our capital recycling program:
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we sold one Consolidated Property for gross proceeds of $3.0 million and received a distribution of $8.9 million from an Unconsolidated Property as a result of the sale of a portion of the underlying property. The Company has entered into an option purchase and sale agreement (the “PSA”) to sell one vacant non-income producing premier asset in Dallas, Texas for anticipated gross proceeds of $50.8 million before applicable credits and costs. The sale is subject to customary closing conditions and is also cross-conditioned and cross-defaulted with an option purchase and sale agreement between the buyer and unaffiliated owners of a neighboring parcel. The buyer made an initial option payment of $169,200, then (i) commencing on July 1, 2026, and each month thereafter that the PSA remains in effect through December 1, 2026, the Company shall receive an option payment equal to $126,900 and (ii) commencing on January 1, 2027, and each month thereafter that the PSA remains in effect through January 1, 2028, the Company shall receive an option payment equal to $274,950. All option payments are incremental to the purchase price and are non-refundable except as otherwise provided for in the PSA. There can be no assurances that the buyer will exercise the option to purchase the property.
Term Loan Facility / Incremental Funding Facility
As previously disclosed, on May 5, 2020, the Operating Partnership and Berkshire Hathaway entered into an amendment (the “Term Loan Amendment”) to the Term Loan Agreement by and among the Operating Partnership and Berkshire Hathaway as initial lender and administrative agent that permitted the deferral of payment of interest under the Term Loan Agreement if, as of the first day of each applicable month, (x) the amount of unrestricted and unencumbered (other than liens created under the Term Loan Agreement) cash on hand of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, minus (y) the aggregate amount of anticipated necessary expenditures for such period (such sum, “Available Cash”) was equal to or less than $30.0 million. In such instances, for each interest period, the Operating Partnership was obligated to make payments of interest in an amount equal to the difference between (i) Available Cash and (ii) $20.0 million (provided that such payment should not exceed the amount of current interest otherwise due under the Term Loan Agreement). Any deferred interest should accrue interest at 2.0% in excess of the then applicable interest rate and should be due and
- 32 -
payable on July 31, 2023; provided, that the Operating Partnership was required to pay any deferred interest from Available Cash in excess of $30.0 million (unless otherwise agreed to by the administrative agent under the Term Loan Agreement in its sole discretion). In addition, repayment of any outstanding deferred interest was a condition to any borrowings under the $400.0 million incremental funding facility under the Term Loan Agreement (the “Incremental Funding Facility”).
Additionally, the Term Loan Amendment provided that the administrative agent and the lenders expressed their continued support for asset dispositions, subject to the administrative agent’s right to approve the terms of individual transactions due to the occurrence of a Financial Metric Trigger Event, as such term is defined under the Term Loan Agreement. The Third Term Loan Amendment (as defined in Note 6 – Debt of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) executed on June 16, 2022 provided exceptions to this right.
On July 28, 2025, the Company exercised its extension option pursuant to the Fourth Term Loan Amendment (as defined in Note 6 – Debt of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item I of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q) and on July 30, 2025, the Company paid a 2% extension fee equal to $4.0 million extending the maturity date to July 31, 2026. The Company also paid the incremental facility fee of $4.0 million. All other terms under the Term Loan Agreement should remain unchanged during the extension period including the interest rate and the incremental facility fee in accordance with the Term Loan Agreement.
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we did not make any payments against the principal of the Term Loan Facility. Our outstanding balance as of June 30, 2026, is $50.0 million.
Real Estate Loan / Revolver
On July 24, 2026, certain affiliates of the Company the Company entered into (i) a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Real Estate Loan”) providing for a $15.0 million term loan and (ii) a Business Loan Agreement (the “Revolver”), as amended by an omnibus agreement, providing for a $25.0 million revolving loan. At closing of the Revolver, the Company drew $15.0 million, and has $10.0 million available and unfunded. The Company used the proceeds from the closing of the Real Estate Loan and the initial draw under the Revolver, together with cash on hand, to fully repay the $50.0 million outstanding balance on the existing Term Loan Facility and to pay transaction and related costs. The Real Estate Loan is collateralized by the Company’s interest in three Consolidated Properties and bears interest at an annual rate of one-month SOFR plus 2.75% which interest rate shall be reduced to one-month SOFR plus 2.25% if the outstanding balance is reduced to $10.0 million or less. The Revolver is collateralized by $25.0 million of cash held in a restricted account with the lender. Drawn amounts under the Revolver bear interest at an annual rate equal to a spread of 2.0% above the money market rate on the cash collateral which is currently 3.5% for 12 months from closing and thereafter resets annually. Both the Real Estate Loan and the Revolver mature on July 24, 2028 and have a one-year extension option.
See Note 1 – Organization of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of liquidity and going concern.

Litigation and Other Matters
In accordance with accounting standards regarding loss contingencies, we accrue an undiscounted liability for those contingencies where the incurrence of a loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, and we disclose the amount accrued and the amount of a reasonably possible loss in excess of the amount accrued or disclose the fact that such a range of loss cannot be estimated. We do not record liabilities when the likelihood that the liability has been incurred is probable but the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, or when the liability is believed to be only reasonably possible or remote. In such cases, we disclose the nature of the material contingency, and an estimate of the possible loss, range of loss, or disclose the fact that an estimate cannot be made.
On July 1, 2024, a purported shareholder of the Company filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Zhengxu He, Trustee of the He & Fang 2005 Revocable Living Trust v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:24:CV:05007, alleging that the Company, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, and the Company’s Chief Financial Officer violated the federal securities laws. The complaint seeks to bring a class action on behalf of all persons and entities that purchased or otherwise acquired Company securities between July 7, 2022 and May 10, 2024. The complaint alleges that the defendants violated federal securities laws by issuing false, misleading, and/or omissive disclosures concerning the Company’s alleged lack of effective internal controls regarding the identification and review of impairment indicators for investments in real estate and the Company’s value and projected gross proceeds of certain real estate assets. The complaint seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an award of reasonable costs and expenses to the plaintiff and class counsel, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. On or around January 15, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned Paul Sidhu v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00152. On or around January 20, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, captioned James Wallen v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-cv-00190. On or around May 8, 2025, another purported shareholder of the Company filed a derivative lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned Derrick Cheroti v. Seritage Growth Properties, Case No. 1:25-vc-00152. The derivative actions allege the same or similar claimed acts and omissions underlying the Securities Action, assert breach of fiduciary duty and other claims against the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and current and former members of the Company’s Board of Trustees, and name the Company as a nominal defendant. The complaint in each of the derivative actions seeks compensatory damages in an unspecified amount to be proven at trial, an order directing the Company and the individual defendants to reform and improve the Company’s corporate governance and internal procedures, restitution from the individual defendants, an award of costs and expenses to the plaintiff and reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees, costs, and expenses, and such other and further relief as the court may deem just and proper. The complaint in the Cheroti Derivative Action also seeks an award of punitive damages, an order directing the individual defendants to account for all damages caused by them and all profits and special benefits and unjust enrichment obtained, and the imposition of a constructive trust. On September 2, 2025, the court in the Cheroti Derivative Action stayed the Cheroti Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. On November 5, 2025, the court in the District of Maryland proceedings consolidated the Sidhu Derivative Action and the Wallen Derivative Action and appointed lead counsel. On November 12, 2025, the court in the Consolidated Derivative Action stayed the Consolidated Derivative Action until resolution of the anticipated motion to dismiss in the Securities Action. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the allegations in these lawsuits.
We are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business and due to the current environment. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, the final outcome of such ordinary course legal proceedings and claims will not have a material effect on the condensed consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity of the Company.
See Note 9 – Commitments and Contingencies Litigation and Other Matters of the Notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a discussion of the Litigation and related matters.
Critical Accounting Policies
A summary of our critical accounting policies is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, there were no material changes to these policies.
- 35 -
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
There were no material changes in the Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk set forth in our 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d – 15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)). Because of inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, and not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met.
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the material weaknesses described below.
Notwithstanding the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer have concluded that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Material Weaknesses
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.
As previously reported, management identified material weaknesses due to deficiencies in the design and operating effectiveness of controls which remain unremediated as of, and for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The material weaknesses identified in our internal control over financial reporting related to: (i) level of precision of the review of the general ledger and underlying reconciliations, and (ii) lack of appropriate segregation of duties over journal entries. These deficiencies contributed to the potential for there to be material errors in our financial statements.
Update on Remediation Plan
As previously reported, in response to the material weaknesses, management, with oversight of the Audit Committee, began to implement steps to remediate the material weaknesses. While the Company has made progress with the remediation of these material weaknesses, the remediation efforts are ongoing, because additional time is needed to complete the remediation and allow for the internal controls to be tested by management.
However, the material weaknesses discussed above cannot be considered completely remediated until the applicable controls are fully implemented, have operated for a sufficient period of time and management has concluded, through testing, that these controls are operating effectively. Accordingly, we will continue to monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
Other than as described above, there were no changes in internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2026 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
