(1) The principal executive officer (“PEO”) for all four years included in the table is Stephen D. Lebovitz, our Chief Executive Officer. The dollar amounts reported in column (b) are the amounts of total compensation reported for Stephen D. Lebovitz for each corresponding year in the “Total Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table presented in the Company’s annual meeting proxy statements for the relevant periods.

(2) The dollar amounts reported in column (c) and (e) reflect CAP as computed in accordance with SEC rules. Stock compensation in the SCT is reflective of the grant date fair value of awards granted in the respective years. See tables below for the detail of the adjustments made to the SCT in the calculation of CAP. The CAP reflected below does not reflect the actual amount of compensation paid out to our NEOs during the applicable year as it includes changes in the value of stock compensation for awards which remained unvested at the end of the applicable year.

(A)

The amounts included in this row are the amounts reported in the “Stock Awards” column of the SCT for each applicable year.

(B)

The equity award adjustments for each applicable year were calculated in accordance with the methodology required by the SEC’s PvP Rules. In calculating the necessary adjustments to the SCT, fair values of equity awards were determined as follows:

•

The fair values reported for CAP purposes for PSUs granted in years 2018 through 2023 based on three-year performance cycles were determined in accordance with FASB ASC 718 and were estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation model, which consisted of computing the fair value using the Company’s simulated stock price as well as TSR over the applicable performance period. These PSUs ultimately vest based on measured performance through the end of the three-year performance period for both metrics. The fair value of PSUs granted in 2022 was estimated using a Monte Carlo Simulation model, which consisted of computing the fair value using the Company’s simulated stock price as well as TMR during each annual performance period, with the exception of (i) the PSUs that vested for each of our NEOs on December 31, 2023 (as shown in the 2023 Option Exercises and Stock Vested Table on page 58 in this proxy statement), which are valued based on the closing price for our Common Stock on the NYSE on the last trading day of fiscal year 2023 (December 29) of $24.42 per share and (ii) the PSUs that vested for each of our NEOs on December 31, 2022, which are valued based on the closing price for our Common Stock on the NYSE on the last trading day of fiscal year 2022 (December 30) of $23.08 per share.

•

The fair value of restricted stock reflects the average of the high and low sales prices of our Common Stock on the last trading day of each respective year multiplied times the number of shares outstanding or, for awards that vested during the year, the average of the high and low sales prices of our Common Stock on the vesting date multiplied by the number of shares that vested.

•

For additional information, refer to Note 16 – Share-Based Compensation in the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC, that accompanies this Proxy Statement (the “2023 Form 10-K”).

(C)

For outstanding shares of restricted stock that have not vested, the recipients of such awards, including our NEOs, receive dividend payments on restricted stock prior to vesting. These amounts reflect the dividends actually paid with respect to unvested restricted stock in the applicable year.

(3) The dollar amounts reported in column (d) represent the average of the total compensation amounts reported for the Company’s NEOs as a group (excluding the PEO) in the “Total Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table in each applicable year. The non-PEO NEOs for 2023 are Benjamin W. Jaenicke, Michael I. Lebovitz, Katie A. Reinsmidt and Jeffery V. Curry. The non-PEO NEOs for 2021 and 2022 are Farzana Khaleel, Michael I. Lebovitz, Katie A. Reinsmidt and Jeffery V. Curry. The non-PEO NEOs for 2020 are Farzana Khaleel, Charles B. Lebovitz, Michael I. Lebovitz and Jeffery V. Curry.

(4) CBL total shareholder return in column (f) is based on an assumed $100 invested on November 2, 2021 (the first day of trading on the NYSE following the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization and the NYSE listing), at the market close, through December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively, with all dividends reinvested. Peer group total shareholder return in column (g) is based on a similar $100 investment on November 2, 2021, in the FTSE NAREIT All Equity REITs Index, with all dividends reinvested (the same industry peer group utilized in the stock performance graph presented in Part II, Item 5 of our 2023 Form 10-K). Pursuant to applicable SEC guidance, total shareholder return information for periods prior to November 2, 2021 is not included in the PvP table due to the impact of our Chapter 11 reorganization.

(5) Amounts shown in column (h) represent Net Income (Loss) (dollars in thousands) as reported in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in the 2023 Form 10-K: (i) for the Successor periods comprised of fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the two months ended December 31, 2021 and (ii) for the Predecessor period comprised of the ten months ended October 31, 2021. Amounts shown for the Predecessor period comprised of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 represent the amounts as reported for such period in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, as previously filed with the SEC (the “2022 Form 10-K”).

Amounts shown in column (i) represent the Operating Partnership’s Share of Total NOI (“Gross NOI”) as reported in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in the 2023 Form 10-K: (i) for the Successor periods comprised of the fiscal years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the two months ended December 31, 2021 and (ii) for the Predecessor period comprised of the ten months ended October 31, 2021. The Gross NOI for the Predecessor period comprised of the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 represents the amount reported in the Company’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section in the 2022 Form 10-K.

As discussed in Note 1 – Organization and in Note 19 – Fresh Start Accounting in the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the 2023 Form 10-K, upon the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization pursuant to the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company adopted fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan, the consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date (November 1, 2021) are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date. The lack of comparability is emphasized in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations included in the 2023 Form 10-K and the 2022 Form 10-K by the use of a “black line” to separate the Predecessor (defined below) and Successor (defined below) Periods in the consolidated financial statements and footnote tables. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company after the Effective Date. References to "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Company" refer to the financial position and

results of operations of the Company on or before the Effective Date. See Note 1 – Organization and in Note 19 – Fresh Start Accounting in the Company’s audited financial statements contained in the 2023 Form 10-K, filed with the SEC (which accompanies this proxy statement), for additional information.

CBL total shareholder return in column (f) is based on an assumed $100 invested on November 2, 2021 (the first day of trading on the NYSE following the Company’s emergence from Chapter 11 reorganization and the NYSE listing), at the market close, through December 31, 2021, December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2023, respectively, with all dividends reinvested.

Pursuant to applicable SEC guidance, total shareholder return information for periods prior to November 2, 2021 is not included in the PvP table due to the impact of our Chapter 11 reorganization.
