BEACHWOOD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sep. 17, 2024--

In the third quarter to date, SITE Centers has sold 13 wholly owned properties for an aggregate gross price of $714.3 million. Net proceeds were used, in part, to repay $159.0 million of the $530.0 millionSITE Centers mortgage facility originally secured by 23 properties. The Company has also acquired six convenience shopping centers for an aggregate gross price of $111.2 million in the third quarter to date including Loma Alta Station (San Diego, CA) and Nine Mile Corner (Denver, CO).
Curbline is expected to be capitalized with $600 million of cash at the time of the spin-off in addition to a $400 million undrawn, unsecured line of credit, a $100 million unsecured, delayed draw term loan and no indebtedness. As a result of disposition activity to date and additional assets under contract, the Company may capitalize Curbline with more cash with the cash balance at the time of the spin-off dependent on the sale of additional assets expected to close prior to the spin-off.
As previously announced, the distribution of the shares of Curbline common stock is expected to be completed at 12:01 a.m. Eastern Time on October 1, 2024. Following such distribution, Curbline will be an independent, publicly traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “CURB”.
