About Federal Realty
Safe Harbor Language
Certain matters discussed within this press release may be deemed to be
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
Although Federal Realty believes the expectations reflected in the
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, it can give no
assurance that its expectations will be attained. These factors include, but
are not limited to, the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form
10-K filed on
-- risks that our tenants will not pay rent or that we may be unable to
renew leases or re-let space at favorable rents as leases expire;
-- risks that we may not be able to proceed with or obtain necessary
approvals for any redevelopment or renovation project, and that
completion of anticipated or ongoing property redevelopments or
renovations may cost more, take more time to complete, or fail to
perform as expected;
-- risks that the number of properties we acquire for our own account,
and therefore the amount of capital we invest in acquisitions, may be
impacted by our real estate partnership;
-- risks normally associated with the real estate industry, including
risks that occupancy levels at our properties and the amount of rent
that we receive from our properties may be lower than expected, that
new acquisitions may fail to perform as expected, that competition for
acquisitions could result in increased prices for acquisitions, that
environmental issues may develop at our properties and result in
unanticipated costs, and, because real estate is illiquid, that we may
not be able to sell properties when appropriate;
-- risks that our growth will be limited if we cannot obtain additional
capital;
-- risks of financing, such as our ability to consummate additional
financings or obtain replacement financing on terms which are
acceptable to us, our ability to close any pending financing
activities, our ability to meet existing financial covenants and the
limitations imposed on our operations by those covenants, and the
possibility of increases in interest rates that would result in
increased interest expense; and
-- risks related to our status as a real estate investment trust,
commonly referred to as a REIT, for federal income tax purposes, such
as the existence of complex tax regulations relating to our status as
a REIT, the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result
of new legislation, and the adverse consequences of the failure to
qualify as a REIT.
Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue
reliance on any forward-looking statements that we make, including those in
this press release. Except as may be required by law, we make no promise to
update any of the forward-looking statements as a result of new information,
future events or otherwise. You should carefully review the risks and risk
factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed
