"We continue to advance discussions to refinance our remaining $50 million of corporate debt that matures at the end of July.

Q1 Sale Highlights: Received a distribution of $5.7 million from an unconsolidated entity as a result of the sale of a portion of the underlying property.

The Company received distributions of $7.4 million from its unconsolidated properties. The Company recognized impairment charges of $15.2 million on one of its consolidated properties.

Financial Summary The table below provides a summary of the Company’s financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2026:     Three Months Ended         March 31, 2026     March 31, 2025     Net loss attributable to Seritage common shareholders   $ (31,543 )   $ (23,427 )   Net loss per share attributable to Seritage common shareholders     (0.56 )     (0.42 )   As of March 31, 2026, the Company had cash on hand of $58.8 million, including $14.3 million of restricted cash. Subsequent to the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company sold one of its consolidated properties for aggregate gross proceeds of $11.0 million. The Company does not currently have any assets under contract with closings that are deemed probable. Our existing cash on hand will not allow the Company to fund its operating and other expenses, including general and administrative expenses and debt service (collectively, “Obligations”) because the term loan facility, which matures on July 31, 2026, is presently a current Obligation. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. For more information on our liquidity position, including our going concern analysis, please see the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 and in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” each in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Litigation Matters 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. Dividends The Company's Board of Trustees has declared the following dividends on the preferred shares during 2026:             Series A   Declaration Date   Record Date   Payment Date   Preferred Share   2026               April 20   June 30   July 15   $ 0.43750   February 25   March 31   April 15     0.43750   Strategic Review At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on October 24, 2022, Seritage shareholders approved the Company’s 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 regarding the success of the process. 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 and the impacts thereof. 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 including 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.

Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts.

As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash on hand of $62.3 million, including $14.2 million of restricted cash. Subsequent to the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold an interest in an unconsolidated property and received a distribution of $5.7 million. As of March 30, 2026 there is one consolidated property under contract to sell for aggregate gross proceeds of $11.0 million. The anticipated proceeds from the sales of assets under contract with closings that are deemed probable and existing cash on hand will not allow the Company to fund its operating and other expenses, including general and administrative expenses and debt service (collectively, “Obligations”) because the term loan facility, which matures on July 31, 2026, is presently a current Obligation. This uncertainty raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. For more information on our liquidity position, including our going concern analysis, please see the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in Part II, Item 7 and in the section titled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” each in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.


Litigation Matters


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.

At the 2022 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on October 24, 2022, Seritage shareholders approved the Company’s 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 regarding the success of the process.


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 including 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.


Forward-Looking Statements


This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” "will," "approximately," or "anticipates" or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases that are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and that do not relate solely to historical matters. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, which may cause actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to: declines in retail, real estate and general economic conditions; risks relating to redevelopment activities and disposition of properties; the process and results of the Company’s review of strategic alternatives and our Plan of Sale; to contingencies to the commencement of rent under leases; the terms of the Company’s indebtedness and other legal requirements to which the Company is subject; competition and related challenges in the real estate and retail industries and the ability of the Company’s top tenants to successfully operate their businesses; failure to achieve expected occupancy and/or rent levels within the projected time frame or at all; the impact of ongoing negative operating cash flow on the Company’s ability to fund operations and ongoing development; the Company’s ability to access or obtain sufficient sources of financing to fund the Company’s liquidity needs; environmental, health, safety and land use laws and regulations; and possible acts of war, terrorist activity or other acts of violence or cybersecurity incidents. For additional discussion of these and other applicable risks, assumptions and uncertainties, see the “Risk Factors” and forward-looking statement disclosure contained in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and any subsequent Form 10-Qs. While the Company believes that its forecasts and assumptions are reasonable, the Company cautions that actual results may differ materially. The Company intends the forward-looking statements to speak only as of the time made and do not undertake to update or revise them as more information becomes available, except as required by law.

I have been wondering all along why the preferred is trading so far under par. Only logical scenarios are that liquidation process results in no common equity or that they halt the liquidation process and instead sell to another company that keeps the preferred outstanding. Both of those scenarios seem pretty likely, so why is the preferred sub-$23?

OK, I own a sizable amount of BRK but no SRG. My background is real estate law... long ago. Good luck.

I have been long since 12/01/22 and have been averaging down.

I’m very familiar with John Garilli and his liquidation work.

I have a position in New York REIT Liquidating LLC, the successor New York REIT, Inc. Its only significant assets are a 50.1% equity interest in WWP Holdings LLC, which owns one property, known as Worldwide Plaza, aggregating 2.0 million rentable square feet with an average occupancy of 90.6% at 9/30/22. The property consisted of office space, retail space and a garage representing 88%, 5% and 7%, respectively, of rentable square feet.

In addition, I participated in the liquidation of Winthrop Realty Trust.

Today, 7% is cheap.

The preferred stock will most likely be redeemed in 2023.

Berkshire Hathaway Term Loan

Yup, happened just like it was supposed to!

Marked to fantasy to generate government income!

Something's going terribly wrong at Buffett's SRG. That pummeled REIT is off another 14% today! Some time ago Seritage paid a nice market-rate dividend, but they suspended it months ago supposedly to help finance redevelopment of its RE portfolio.

I'm sure some SRG investors had assumed WB would rush to the rescue if that were ever needed. Is he selling his SRG shares? I'm trying to learn more.

Re-leasing former Sears Holdings locations remains the key.
The 3.5x to 4.5x rental uplift that the Company has historically achieved upon re-leasing space formerly occupied by Sears Holdings allows it to recover all the rental income generated from Sears Holdings by re-leasing only 25-35% of the formerly occupied space and deploying the capital required to bring the rental income online.

Seritage Growth Properties Reports Increased Leasing, Development and Transaction Activity in 2018 (1/23/19)

Signed new leases totaling 3.1 million square feet, up 17% over 2017, at an average re-leasing multiple of 3.9x

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Seritage Growth Properties (NYSE: SRG) (the “Company”), a national owner of 232 retail and mixed-use properties totaling approximately 36.3 million square feet, today provided an update on the Company’s leasing, development, transaction and capital activities as of December 31, 2018.

“We are pleased with our strong finish to 2018, including 878,000 square feet of new leasing at an average rent of approximately $21.00 PSF on retail leases during the fourth quarter. Since inception, we have leased nearly 8.0 million square feet at an average rent of approximately $17.65 PSF on retail leases and a 4.1x multiple of prior rents. We have completed or commenced 97 redevelopment projects totaling $1.5 billion of projected capital investment at targeted incremental returns of approximately 11.0% on an unlevered basis. The diversified, non-Sears tenants we have under signed leases, plus the remaining lease-up of these announced projects, is expected to generate over $225 million of rental income before any further activation of our portfolio. We also ended the year with access to nearly $1.0 billion of liquidity, including $537 million of cash on hand, which provides sufficient capital to complete our current projects and mitigate potential reductions in income from Sears Holdings,” said Benjamin Schall, President and Chief Executive Officer. “As we start 2019, we remain well positioned to continue executing on our strategies to unlock substantial value through intensive redevelopment. We are excited by our pipeline of opportunities, including our next wave of suburban retail redevelopments and three dozen premier and larger scale redevelopments. We look forward to utilizing our platform and expanding our preferred partnerships with growing retailers, best-in-class mixed-use developers and leading capital allocators to generate substantial value for shareholders.”

Diversified Income

Leasing Activity: since inception, the Company has signed approximately 7.9 million square feet of new leases at an average rent of $16.63 PSF. Retail re-leasing multiples have averaged 4.1x for space occupied by Sears Holdings Corporation (“Sears Holdings” or “Sears”), with new retail rents averaging $17.72 PSF compared to $4.36 PSF paid by Sears Holdings.

The 7.9 million square feet of new leases includes 287 leases with 139 unique tenants and demonstrates the breadth of the Company’s tenant relationships and leasing activity.

Rental Income: since inception, the Company has increased annual base rent from diversified, non-Sears tenants by over 235% to $147 million, including all signed leases and the impact of all asset monetization activity. Including the remaining lease up of announced projects, the Company expects diversified, non-Sears income of over $225 million before any further activation of the portfolio.

As of December 31, 2018, annual base rent from diversified, non-Sears tenants accounted for approximately 72% of total annual base rent, including all signed leases and the effect of all previously exercised recapture and termination notices, as well as properties under contract for sale. Sears Holdings comprised 28% of total annual base rent, surpassing the Company’s previously stated goal of reducing exposure to Sears Holdings below 35% by the end of 2018.

Stability and Growth

Announced Projects: since inception, the Company has substantially completed 47 new redevelopments and has an additional 50 projects currently under development. These 97 projects, which upon completion will provide stable cash flow from a diverse set of retailers under long-term leases, represent $1.5 billion of projected capital investment at targeted incremental returns of approximately 11.0% on an unlevered basis.

In 2018, the Company commenced projects totaling $382 million, including 19 new redevelopments and the expansion of seven previously announced projects. This activity included three new projects representing $65.0 million of capital investment in the fourth quarter.

Development Pipeline: the Company believes it is well-positioned to continue its value creation activities with a robust pipeline of redevelopment projects, including significant mixed-use and densification opportunities.

Premier and Larger Scale: the Company has identified 36 assets totaling 7.4 million square feet of existing space that it believes can be expanded and densified by integrating retail, residential, office and other uses. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had announced select phases of projects at nine of these 36 properties.

In 2018, the Company solidified a portion of its mixed-used and densification pipeline by receiving entitlements for 1,750 residential units, 1.4 million square feet of office space and 500 hotel keys across four projects, including the previously announced approvals at the Company’s projects in Redmond (WA) and Dallas (TX).

Suburban Retail: the Company has identified 162 assets totaling 25.4 million square feet of existing space that it expects to redevelop into first-class, multi-tenant retail centers. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had completed or commenced projects at 83 of these 162 properties, and expects to continue activating these assets as the Company builds on its preferred relationships with growing retailers and other users around the country.

Value Realization and Capital Recycling

Capital Activities: the Company has raised approximately $550 million of gross proceeds from the sale or joint venture of interests in 42 properties over the last 18 months. Proceeds have primarily been reinvested into redevelopment projects, as well as used to repay debt under the Company’s original mortgage facility which was repaid in full in July 2018.

Strategic Equity Joint Ventures: in 2018, the Company contributed its assets in Santa Monica (CA), La Jolla (CA) and West Hartford (CT) into three joint ventures with institutional capital partners representing a total transaction value of $362 million, or $744 PSF, and generated $117.0 million of gross proceeds.

Development Joint Ventures: in 2018, the Company announced two agreements to form joint ventures with institutional-quality residential developers to lead the multifamily components of mixed-use projects in Redmond (WA) and Newark (CA), at values of $16.0 million for 2.5 acres and $20.0 million for 4.5 acres, respectively.
Opportunistic and Smaller Market Dispositions: in 2018, the Company sold 21 properties totaling 2.1 million square feet that generated gross proceeds of $114.3 million, or $54 PSF. The Company monetized these assets, which were generally located in smaller markets, in order to focus its human and capital resources on larger value creation opportunities. These transactions included five dispositions in the fourth quarter that generated gross proceeds of $47.3 million, or $78 PSF.

Strong Liquidity Position

New Term Loan Facility: in July 2018, the Company entered into a new $2.0 billion term loan facility with Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Term Loan Facility, which matures on July 31, 2023, provided for an initial funding of $1.6 billion at closing and includes a committed $400 million incremental funding facility, subject to certain conditions.

There is no direct impact of Sears Holdings’ bankruptcy filing, or a potential rejection of the Master Lease, on the Company’s Term Loan Facility. The Term Loan Facility includes certain financial metrics, including fixed charge coverage ratios, leverage ratios and a minimum net worth, that could be negatively impacted by a loss of revenue from Sears Holdings. A failure to satisfy any of these financial metrics will require the Company to seek lender approval to monetize assets via sale or joint venture and also provide the lender the right to request mortgages on its real estate collateral, but will not result in an event of default, mandatory amortization, cash flow sweep or any similar provision.

Liquidity Position: as of December 31, 2018, the Company was positioned with nearly $1.0 billion of liquidity, including:
$537 million of cash on hand to fund on-going development activities, as well as to mitigate possible adverse impacts to operating cash flow that may result from potential reductions of rental income under the Master Lease with Sears Holdings.

Committed $400 million incremental funding facility under the Term Loan Facility that is also available, subject to certain conditions, to fund announced and future redevelopment activities.
13 smaller market assets under contract for sale for anticipated gross proceeds of $59.8 million. Assets under contract for sale are subject to customary closing conditions and there can be no assurance that such transactions will be consummated.

Sears Holdings Bankruptcy Filing

As of December 31, 2018, including all signed leases and the effect of previously exercised recapture and termination notices and properties under contract for sale, Sears Holdings was a tenant in 77 properties under the Master Lease and 19 properties under the JV Master Leases representing an aggregate of 11.5 million square feet and $56 million of annual base rent, or 28% of all base rent under signed leases.

The 3.5x to 4.5x rental uplift that the Company has historically achieved upon re-leasing space formerly occupied by Sears Holdings allows it to recover all the rental income generated from Sears Holdings by re-leasing only 25-35% of the formerly occupied space and deploying the capital required to bring the rental income online.

The Company is monitoring, and will continue to monitor, Sears Holdings’ bankruptcy proceedings, including the culmination of Sears Holdings’ auction process, and the impact on the Company’s business. For more information regarding the same, refer to the risk factors relating to Sears Holdings in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
