ITEM 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Restructuring Support Agreement

On August 18, 2020, CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the “REIT”) and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), the majority owned subsidiary of the REIT (collectively, the Operating Partnership and the REIT are referred to as the “Company”), entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with certain beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary funds, accounts or other entities for the holders of beneficial owners (the “Consenting Noteholders”) in excess of 57% of the aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), the Operating Partnership’s 4.60% notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and the Operating Partnership’s 5.95% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes,” together with the 2023 Notes and 2024 Notes, the “Notes”). The press release issued in connection with the signing of the RSA is attached as Exhibit 99.1.

Under the RSA, each Consenting Holder agreed to, among other things: (i) support the restructuring transactions (the “Restructuring Transactions”) set forth in the terms of the RSA and vote and exercise any rights and powers available to it in favor of any matter reasonably necessary to implement such transactions, including but not limited to, supporting any request by the Company for further interest rate forbearance periods in advance of the commencement of any chapter 11 cases as contemplated by the RSA, (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to applicable laws, to give any notice, order, institution, or direction to the trustee under the that certain indenture, dated as of November 26, 2013, among the Operating Partnership, as the issuer, the REIT, as the limited guarantor, and the Delaware Trust Company, as successor trustee (the “Trustee”), as amended, modified or supplemented by that certain First Supplemental Indenture dated as of November 26, 2013 by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company, and the Trustee, the Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of December 13, 2016 by and among the Operating Partnership, the Company and the Trustee and the Third Supplemental Indenture dated as of January 30, 2019 by and among Operating Partnership, the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Trustee, governing the Notes to give effect to the Restructuring Transactions and (iii) negotiate in good faith and use commercially reasonable efforts to execute and implement the documentation required pursuant to and consistent with the RSA to which such Consenting Holder is required to be a party.

In addition, each Consenting Noteholder acknowledged and agreed that the “events of default” under the Indenture resulting from the nonpayment of the (a) $11.8 million interest payment that was due and payable on June 1, 2020 (the “2023 Notes Interest Payment”) to holders of the 2023 Notes and (b) $18.6 million interest payment that was due and payable on June 15, 2020 (the “2026 Notes Interest Payment”) to holders of the 2026 Notes are no longer continuing under the Indenture as a result of the Company making each of the 2023 Notes Interest Payment and 2026 Notes Interest Payment in full on August 5, 2020. Further, each Consenting Noteholder agreed that, in the event the Trustee or other holders of the 2023 Notes or 2026 Notes, as applicable, take any action to declare either or both of the 2023 Notes or 2026 Notes immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 502 under the Indenture, as a result of either or both of such “events of defaults” described in (a) or (b) above, the Consenting Noteholders, solely to the extent permitted under the Indenture, agree to rescind and cancel any such acceleration.

The RSA is terminable by the Consenting Holders if certain events occur, including but not limited to: (i) if the Company files, publicly announces or informs counsel to the Consenting Holders of its intention to file a Plan (as defined below) that contains terms and conditions that: (a) do not provide the Consenting Holders with the economic recovery set forth in the restructuring term sheet annexed to the RSA (the “Restructuring Term Sheet”) or (b) are not otherwise consistent in all material respects with the RSA and the Restructuring Term Sheet; (ii) if the Company files with the Bankruptcy Court any motion or application seeking authority to sell material assets outside of the ordinary course of business, with an aggregate purchase price of greater than $15 million, without the prior written consent of the Consenting Holders; provided that the Company Parties shall segregate the proceeds from such sales for the benefit of the Consenting Noteholders; or (iii) the failure of the Company to comply with or achieve any one of the Milestones (as defined below), unless such Milestone is extended with the prior written consent of Consenting Holders who hold at least 75% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Notes held by such Consenting Holders (the “Required Consenting Holders”). The RSA is terminable by the Company if certain events occur, including but not limited to, a breach by Consenting Holders holding an amount of Notes that would result in the non-breaching Consenting Holders holding less than 66.67% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes held by all of the Consenting Noteholders. The RSA automatically terminates on the Plan Effective Date (as defined below).

Milestones

Under the RSA, the Company agreed to support and take all steps reasonably necessary and desirable to consummate the Restructuring Transactions in accordance with the RSA, including using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all required regulatory and third-party approvals, negotiating in good faith and using commercially reasonable efforts to execute and implement the documentation required to consummate the Restructuring Transactions as contemplated by the RSA, and completing the following milestones (the “Milestones”), provided that nothing in the RSA constitutes an approval by the Company to commence Chapter 11 Cases (as defined below), for which separate board approval shall be required:

•

If the Preferred Holders reject the Plan as a class, they shall receive no recovery under the Plan. In addition, the Plan will provide for a cash out option for the Preferred Holders in the amount of $5 million on terms reasonably acceptable to the Company and the Required Consenting Holders.

•

If holders of common stock of the REIT or limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership designated as special common units (the “Common Holders”) vote in favor of the Plan as a class, they shall receive their pro rata share, of up to a percentage to be determined of the New Equity Interests and of the Warrants, subject to dilution as set forth in the Restructuring Term Sheet. If the Common Holders reject the Plan as a class, they shall receive no recovery under the Plan.

•

ITEM 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

(e)Effective August 18, 2020, in conjunction with entering into the RSA described in Item 1.01 of this report, the Company, after extensive consultation and review by the Company’s compensation consultant, FPL Associates (“FPL”), and legal advisors, (i) entered into new Employment Agreements (the “Executive Employment Agreements”) as described below with certain executive officers of the Company, including four of the five Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) identified in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 6, 2020 (the “2020 Proxy Statement”) and (ii) also implemented a Key Employee Retention Plan (“KERP”) for specified officers and non-executive employees of the Company, to provide retention bonus awards intended to help incentivize and retain key personnel during the Company’s restructuring process. The Executive Employment Agreements and KERP were reviewed and evaluated by FPL. FPL completed a market review of severance terms and employment agreements and a market review of restructuring incentive programs and executive pay levels and advised that the key terms of both agreements align with market-based practices.

In connection with these actions, which were taken pursuant to approval of the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors that was contingent on entering into the RSA, the Company also terminated both the Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) and Long-Term Incentive Program (“LTIP”) components of the Company’s NEO Incentive Program for 2020, while leaving in place the original NEO base salaries for 2020 as described in the 2020 Proxy Statement.

Summary of Executive Employment Agreements

The Company is entering into new Executive Employment Agreements with five of its current executive officers, including four of its five NEOs (Stephen D. Lebovitz, Chief Executive Officer; Farzana Khaleel, Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer; Michael I. Lebovitz, President; and Jeffery V. Curry, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary). The Company is not entering into an Executive Employment Agreement with Chairman of the Board Charles B. Lebovitz.

Key terms of these new Executive Employment Agreements may be summarized as follows:


Term:	Initial 3-year term, with automatic renewal for successive 1-year terms if not terminated (including any such renewals, the “Term”).
Base Salary:	Initially equivalent to originally approved 2020 base salaries, with future increases or decreases at discretion of the Board Compensation Committee (provided base salary shall not be decreased by more than 5% during the Term).
Annual Bonus:	Bonus compensation for 2020 will be pursuant to the KERP as described below. Annual bonus opportunities for 2021 and future years.
Other Incentives:	Participation and amounts applicable to future equity incentives/ management incentive plan to be as determined by the Board Compensation Committee.
Insurance/Benefits:	Continuation of health insurance benefits for 18 months following termination (24 months for CEO), subject to longer continuation, if applicable, under the terms of the Company’s Tier I, Tier II and Tier III Legacy Retiree Programs as described in the 2020 Proxy Statement.
Severance:	If employment is terminated by the Company without Cause (as defined in the agreement) or upon a Change of Control, severance is twice (2x) the sum of (i) then-current annual base salary plus (ii) the Retention Bonus payable pursuant to the KERP (as described below).


Death/Disability:	If employment is terminated due to death or disability (other than for the CEO), severance is twice (2x) then-current annual base salary. In the case of the CEO, such severance would equal 1x then-current annual base salary plus the Retention Bonus payable pursuant to the KERP (as described below).
Non-Solicitation/ Non-Compete:	One year following termination, unless executive was terminated without Cause (as defined in the agreement).

In connection with the Executive Employment Agreements and the KERP, the Company also terminated the following existing arrangements with Charles B. Lebovitz, Stephen D. Lebovitz and Jeffery V. Curry, the terms of which were superseded by the new arrangements:

•

The non-competition agreements entered into with Charles B. Lebovitz and Stephen D. Lebovitz at the time of the Company’s initial public offering in November 1993, as described in the 2020 Proxy Statement.

•

The limited severance arrangements approved for Jeffery V. Curry as an inducement to surrender his partnership in a national law firm to join the Company as its Chief Legal Officer in 2012, as described in the 2020 Proxy Statement.

Summary of the KERP

In order to incentivize and retain key personnel during the Company’s restructuring process, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the KERP, pursuant to which all officers of the Company of the level of Senior Vice President and above will be eligible to receive a Retention Bonus Award in lieu of the annual cash bonuses such officers otherwise would have been eligible for with respect to the Company’s 2020 fiscal year (including cash bonus awards under the AIP for the NEOs as described in the 2020 Proxy Statement). The amounts of the Retention Bonus were set at slightly reduced levels compared with the cash bonus received by each NEO under the AIP for 2019.

Key terms of the Retention Bonus Awards applicable to the NEOs may be summarized as follows:


Payment Terms:	Payable to each NEO on the first payroll payment date after the later of January 1, 2021 or the date on which the Company emerges from the Chapter 11 reorganization process.
Amount of KERP Retention Bonus for Each NEO:	Stephen D. Lebovitz, Chief Executive Officer Farzana Khaleel, Executive Vice President – Chief Financial Officer Charles B. Lebovitz, Chairman of the Board Michael I. Lebovitz, President Jeffery V. Curry, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer	$953,000 $313,000 $414,000 $313,000 $201,000
Clawback:	Bonus payment to be returned to the Company if the executive voluntarily resigns or is terminated for Cause (as defined in the Retention Bonus Agreement) within 9 months (270 days) following receipt of the Retention Bonus.
Death/Disability:	If employment is terminated without Cause or due to death or disability, the executive will be entitled to receive the Retention Bonus payment.

The Company is providing similar Retention Bonus incentives under the KERP to seven additional senior officers, at an aggregate cost of $1,247,500 if all such bonuses are paid, and to additional employees constituting approximately 35% of the Company’s non-executive workforce at an aggregate cost of $4,027,600 if all such bonuses are paid.

The preceding summary descriptions of the terms of the Executive Employment Agreements and Retention Bonus Agreements applicable to the Company’s NEOs are not complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the forms of such agreements which are filed as Exhibits 10.2 and 10.3 hereto.

ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

Beginning on June 18, 2020, the Company engaged in confidential discussions and negotiations under separate Confidentiality Agreements (the “NDAs”) with the Consenting Noteholders, in each case regarding potential strategic transactions to enhance the Company’s capital structure. As part of such discussions and negotiations, the Company’s management also made a presentation to the Consenting Noteholders in June of 2020.

Pursuant to the NDAs, the Company agreed to publicly disclose certain information (the “Cleansing Material”) upon the occurrence of certain events set forth in the NDAs. A copy of the Cleansing Material is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.2. The Cleansing Material was prepared by the Company solely to facilitate a discussion with the parties to the NDAs and was not prepared with a view toward public disclosure and should not be relied upon to make an investment decision with respect to the Company. The Cleansing Material should not be regarded as an indication that the Company or any third party consider the Cleansing Material to be a reliable prediction of future events, and the Cleansing Material should not be relied upon as such. Neither the Company nor any third party has made or makes any representation to any person regarding the accuracy of any Cleansing Material or undertakes any obligation to publicly update the Cleansing Material to reflect circumstances existing after the date when the Cleansing Material was prepared or conveyed or to reflect the occurrence of future events, even in the event that any or all of the assumptions underlying the Cleansing Material are shown to be in error. In the event any transaction occurs in the future, the terms of any such transaction may be materially different than the terms set forth in the Confidential Information. However, no assurance can be given that any such transaction will occur at all.

Concurrently with such discussions with the Consenting Noteholders, the Company was also engaged in confidential discussions and negotiations with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the “Agent’) for the lenders party to the Credit Agreement, dated as of January 30, 2019 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). As part of such discussions and negotiations, on July 20, 2020, the Agent made a proposal to the Company on behalf of the lenders (the “Wells Proposal”) and, on August 5, 2020, the Company made a counterproposal to the Agent (the “Company Proposal”) in response to the prior proposal by the Agent. The Company intends to continue collaborative negotiations with its senior secured lenders in the meantime to attempt to reach a consensual arrangement with those lenders. In the event that such an arrangement were reached, the Company would seek to amend the RSA to include its senior secured lenders. The RSA may be amended by the Company and with the consent of Required Consenting Holders.

The foregoing description of the Cleansing Material and the Company Proposal do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete presentation of the Cleansing Material, the Wells Proposal and the Company Proposal attached as Exhibits 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4 hereto.

Additionally, in conjunction with the signing of the RSA the Company terminated its open-market payroll deduction employee stock purchase plan.

This communication contains forward-looking statements, including, in particular, statements about the term and the provisions of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the contemplated chapter 11 reorganization. These statements are based on the Company’s current assumptions, expectations and projections about future events. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, the Company can give no assurance that the expectations will prove to be correct.

The information disclosed in this Item 7.01 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such a filing.

contravention of any obligation or restriction set out in this Agreement or otherwise violated Section Error! Reference source not found..

11.03.Mutual Termination. This Agreement, and the obligations of all Parties hereunder, may be terminated by mutual written agreement among all of the following: (a) the Required Consenting Noteholders and (b) each Company Party.

11.04.Automatic Termination. This Agreement shall terminate automatically without any further required action or notice immediately upon the Plan Effective Date.

11.05.Effect of Termination. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date as to a Party, this Agreement shall be of no further force and effect as to such Party and each Party subject to such termination shall be released from its commitments, undertakings, and agreements under or related to this Agreement and shall have the rights and remedies that it would have had, had it not entered into this Agreement, and shall be entitled to take all actions, whether with respect to the Restructuring Transactions or otherwise, that it would have been entitled to take had it not entered into this Agreement, including with respect to any and all Claims or Causes of Action. Upon the occurrence of a Termination Date prior to the Confirmation Order being entered by a Bankruptcy Court, any and all consents or ballots tendered by the Parties subject to such termination before a Termination Date shall be deemed, for all purposes, to be null and void ab initio from the first instance and shall not be considered or otherwise used in any manner by the Parties in connection with the Restructuring Transactions and this Agreement or otherwise. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as prohibiting a Company Party or any of the Consenting Noteholders from contesting whether any such termination is in accordance with its terms or to seek enforcement of any rights under this Agreement that arose or existed before a Termination Date. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein is intended to, or does, in any manner waive, limit, impair, or restrict (a) any right of any Company Party or the ability of any Company Party to protect and reserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including any Causes of Action against any Consenting Noteholder, and (b) any right of any Consenting Noteholder, or the ability of any Consenting Noteholder, to protect and preserve its rights (including rights under this Agreement), remedies, and interests, including its claims against any Company Party or Consenting Noteholder. No purported termination of this Agreement shall be effective under this Section 11 or otherwise if the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement is in material breach of this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 11.05 shall restrict any Company Party’s right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 11.02(c).

Amendments and Waivers

(a)This Agreement may not be modified, amended, or supplemented, and no condition or requirement of this Agreement may be waived, in any manner except in accordance with this Section 12.

(b)Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement may not be modified, amended, amended and restated or supplemented without the express prior written consent of the Company Parties and the Required Consenting Noteholders (in each case, in their sole discretion);

provided, however, that if the proposed modification, amendment or supplement has a material, disproportionate (as compared to the other Consenting Noteholders) and adverse effect on any of the Consenting Noteholders, then the consent of each such affected Consenting Noteholder shall also be required to effectuate such modification, amendment or supplement. In the event that an adversely affected Consenting Noteholder (“Non-Consenting Noteholder”) does not consent to a modification, amendment and restatement or supplement to this Agreement, but such modification, amendment and restatement or supplement receives the consent of the Required Consenting Noteholders, this Agreement shall be deemed to have been terminated only as to such Non-Consenting Noteholder, but this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in respect of all other Consenting Noteholders who have so consented.

(c)Any proposed modification, amendment, waiver or supplement that does not comply with this Section 12 shall be ineffective and null and void ab initio.

(d)The waiver by any Party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a further or continuing waiver of such breach or as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach. No failure on the part of any Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy or any provision of this Agreement, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such Party preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or remedy or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies under this Agreement are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by Law.

Waiver

.

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408 and any other applicable rules of evidence, this Agreement and all negotiations relating hereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than a proceeding to enforce its terms or the payment of damages to which a Party may be entitled under this Agreement.

Specific Performance

. It is understood and agreed by the Parties that money damages would be an insufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by any Party, and each non-breaching Party shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief (without the posting of any bond and without proof of actual damages) as a remedy of any such breach, including an order of the Bankruptcy Court or other court of competent jurisdiction requiring any Party to comply promptly with any of its obligations hereunder.

Several, Not Joint, Claims

13.16.Survival. Notwithstanding (a) any Transfer of any Company Claims in accordance with Section 8 or (b) the termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, the agreements and obligations of the Parties in Section 11.05, Section 13 (except for Section 13.23 with respect to fees and expenses incurred after the termination of this Agreement (other than with respect to fees and expenses incurred after the termination of this Agreement due to the consummation of the Plan on the Plan Effective Date)), and the Confidentiality Agreements shall

survive such Transfer and/or termination and shall continue in full force and effect for the benefit of the Parties in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

Remedies Cumulative

. All rights, powers, and remedies provided under this Agreement or otherwise available in respect hereof at Law or in equity shall be cumulative and not alternative, and the exercise of any right, power, or remedy thereof by any Party shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy by such Party.

13.18.Capacities of Consenting Noteholders. Each Consenting Noteholder has entered into this Agreement on account of all Company Claims that it holds (directly or through discretionary accounts that it manages or advises) and, except where otherwise specified in this Agreement, shall take or refrain from taking all actions that it is obligated to take or refrain from taking under this Agreement with respect to all such Company Claims; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not include any Company Claims held by any such Consenting Noteholder as of the Agreement Effective Date other than Notes Claims; provided, further, however, that any Person (other than any Consenting Noteholder as of the Agreement Effective Date and any of its its Affiliates) that becomes a party hereto as a Consenting Noteholder pursuant to this Agreement following the Agreement Effective Date agrees that it shall cause its Affiliates that hold Company Claims (directly or through discretionary accounts that it manages or advises) to comply with the provisions of this Agreement as if such Affiliate was a Consenting Noteholder.

13.19.Relationship Among Consenting Noteholders.

(a)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the duties and obligations of the Consenting Noteholders under this Agreement shall be several, not joint, with respect to each Consenting Noteholder. None of the Consenting Noteholders shall have any fiduciary duty, any duty of trust or confidence in any form, or other duties or responsibilities in any kind or form to each other, any Consenting Noteholder, any Company Party, or any of the Company Party’s respective creditors or other stakeholders, and there are no commitments among or between the Consenting Noteholders as a result of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein or in the Restructuring Term Sheet, in each case except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. No Party shall have any responsibility by virtue of this Agreement for any trading by any other entity, and it is hereby expressly acknowledged by the Consenting Noteholders, on the one hand, and the Company Parties, on the other, that they are in privity with each other and that no Consenting Noteholder is in privity with any other Consenting Noteholder in connection with this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby. The Consenting Noteholders represent and warrant that as of the date hereof and for so long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Consenting Noteholders have no agreement, arrangement, or understanding with respect to acting together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting, or disposing of any equity securities of the Company Parties. No prior history, pattern, or practice of sharing confidences among or between the Parties shall in any way affect or negate this Agreement, and each Consenting Noteholder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Consenting Noteholder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Nothing contained in this Agreement, and no action taken by any Consenting Noteholder pursuant hereto is intended to constitute the

Consenting Noteholders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that any Consenting Noteholder is in any way acting in concert or as a member of a “group” with any other Consenting Noteholder or Consenting Noteholders within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Exchange Act. For the avoidance of doubt: (1) each Consenting Noteholder is entering into this Agreement directly with the Company and not with any other Consenting Noteholder, (2) no other Consenting Noteholder shall have any right to bring any action against any other Consenting Noteholder with respect this Agreement (or any breach thereof) and (3) no Consenting Noteholder shall, nor shall any action taken by a Consenting Noteholder pursuant to this Agreement, be deemed to be acting in concert or as any group with any other Consenting Noteholder with respect to the obligations under this Agreement nor shall this Agreement create a presumption that the Consenting Noteholders are in any way acting as a group. All rights under this Agreement are separately granted to each Consenting Noteholder by the Company and vice versa, and the use of a single document is for the convenience of the Company. The decision to commit to enter into the transactions contemplated by this Agreement has been made independently.

(b)The Company Parties understand that the Consenting Noteholders are engaged in a wide range of financial services and businesses, and, in furtherance of the foregoing, the Company Parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations set forth in this Agreement shall only apply to the trading desk(s) and/or business group(s) of the Consenting Noteholders that principally manage and/or supervise the Consenting Noteholder’s investment in the Company Parties, and shall not apply to any other trading desk or business group of the Consenting Noteholder so long as they are not acting at the direction or for the benefit of such Consenting Noteholder.

13.20.Email Consents. Where a written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver is required pursuant to or contemplated by this Agreement, pursuant to Section 3.02, Section 12, or otherwise, including a written approval by the Company Parties or the Required Consenting Noteholders, such written consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver shall be deemed to have occurred if, by agreement between counsel to the Parties submitting and receiving such consent, acceptance, approval, or waiver, it is conveyed in writing (including electronic mail) between each such counsel without representations or warranties of any kind on behalf of such counsel.

13.21.Settlement Discussions. This Agreement is part of a proposed settlement of matters that could otherwise be the subject of litigation among the Parties. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed an admission of any kind. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 408, any applicable state rules of evidence and any other applicable law, foreign or domestic, this Agreement, and all negotiations relating thereto shall not be admissible into evidence in any proceeding other than to prove the existence of this Agreement or in a proceeding to enforce the terms of this Agreement.

13.22.Good Faith Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate with each other in good faith and shall coordinate their activities (to the extent reasonably practicable) in respect of all matters concerning the implementation and consummation of the Restructuring.

13.23.Fees and Expenses. Regardless of whether the Restructuring Transactions are consummated, the Company Parties shall within three (3) Business Days of receipt of an invoice,

pay in cash or reimburse all reasonable and documented fees and out-of-pocket expenses (regardless of whether such fees and expenses were incurred before or after the Petition Date) of any advisors, whether retained directly or indirectly, of the Consenting Noteholders, including: (i) Akin Gump, as legal counsel to the Consenting Noteholders; (ii) PJT Partners, as the financial advisor retained on behalf of the Consenting Noteholders; (iii) one local counsel to the Consenting Noteholders; (iv) any other professionals or advisors retained by the Consenting Noteholders with the consent of the Company (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld); and (v) reasonable and documented out of pocket expenses of individual Consenting Noteholders (including fees and expenses of external counsel) in amount not to exceed $250,000 in the aggregate (collectively, the “Consenting Noteholder Fees and Expenses”); provided, however, that all outstanding invoices of such professionals and advisors shall be paid in full by the Petition Date.

13.24.Public Disclosure; Confidential Information. Under no circumstances may any Party make any public disclosure of any kind that would disclose either: (i) the holdings of any Consenting Noteholders (including the signature pages hereto, which shall not be publicly disclosed or filed) or (ii) the identity of any Consenting Noteholder without the prior written consent of such Consenting Noteholder or the order of a Bankruptcy Court or other court with competent jurisdiction, or as may otherwise be required by law. Any obligations the Company may have under or in connection with this Agreement to furnish Confidential Information to a Consenting Noteholder shall be subject to such any confidentiality agreement in place between the Company and such Consenting Noteholder.

13.25.Withholding. The Company Parties shall each be entitled to deduct and withhold (or cause to be deducted or withheld) from amounts otherwise payable and deliverable to any Person hereunder such amounts as it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of the relevant payment under applicable law. The Company Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the payment recipient with reasonable advance notice of any withholding that it intends to make pursuant to this provision, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with such payment recipient to minimize any applicable withholding. To the extent that amounts are deducted and withheld, such amounts shall be paid to the appropriate Governmental Authority and treated for all purposes as having been paid to the Person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made. The Parties agree not to treat the Notes as a “United States real property interest” within the meaning of section 897(c)(1) of title 26 of the United States Code and no Party shall take any position (whether in audits, tax returns, or otherwise) that is inconsistent with the foregoing treatment unless required to do so by applicable law.

Exhibit 10.2

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

THIS EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of [●] by and between [●] (“Executive”) and CBL & Associates Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its successors and assigns permitted under this Agreement, the “Company”). Executive is employed by CBL & Associates Management, Inc. which is an affiliate of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“CBL/REIT”), and, as such, references herein to the “Company”, where the context requires, will include the CBL/REIT.

WHEREAS, the Company desires to employ the Executive and the Executive desires to be employed by the Company, on the terms set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Term of Employment. The Company hereby agrees to employ Executive, and Executive hereby agrees to be employed with the Company, upon the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, for the period set forth in this Agreement. Executive’s employment with the Company pursuant to this Agreement shall commence on [●] (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date unless this Agreement is renewed pursuant to Section 8 below or until terminated in accordance with and pursuant to Section 8 below. The initial 3-year term and any renewal term as set forth in Section 8 below is hereinafter referred to as the “Term”.

2.Employment Duties. Executive shall have the title of [●] of the Company and shall have such duties, authorities and responsibilities as are consistent with such position and as the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) may designate from time to time. Executive shall devote Executive’s full working time and attention and Executive’s best efforts to Executive’s employment and service with the Company and shall perform Executive’s services in a capacity and in a manner consistent with Executive’s position for the Company.

3.Base Salary. During the Term, the Company shall pay Executive a base salary at an annual amount of $[●] payable in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices. Executive’s annual base salary, as in effect from time to time, is hereinafter referred to as the “Base Salary.” The Base Salary may be increased in the discretion of the Company’s Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) (and in the absence of such Compensation Committee, by the Board), but shall not be decreased by an amount greater than five percent (5%), during the Term.

4.Annual Bonus. With respect to each fiscal year of the Company commencing for the 2021 fiscal year of the Company and continuing for each subsequent fiscal year of the Company thereafter during the Term, Executive shall be eligible to earn an annual cash bonus award (the “Annual Bonus”) in an amount established by the Compensation Committee which may include all or a portion of such amount being determined based upon the achievement of performance targets established by the Compensation Committee in its discretion. The Annual

Bonus, if any, shall be paid at the same time annual bonuses are paid to other senior executives of the Company generally or as otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee but in no event later than ninety (90) days following the end of the fiscal year in which the Annual Bonus was earned, and shall be subject to Executive being employed by the Company on the date such Annual Bonus is earned.

5.KERP. The Company has adopted a Key Employee Retention Program (“KERP”) which is intended to incentivize employees to remain employed by the Company for a defined period of time. The KERP is not set out in or evidenced by a written program document or instrument, but, rather, is provided to certain employees of the Company in the form of bonus retention agreements between the Company and those certain employees. Executive shall be provided a bonus retention agreement in the form set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto (the “Bonus Retention Agreement”) that will entitle Executive to a retention bonus amount (the “Retention Bonus”) as specified in the Bonus Retention Agreement. In the event the Company does not pay Executive the Retention Bonus in accordance with the terms of the Bonus Retention Agreement, the Company agrees to pay liquidated damages to Executive in an amount equal to the Retention Bonus.

6.MIP. The Company has adopted or will adopt a management incentive program (“MIP”) in which Executive is or will be a participant. Executive’s entitlement to participate and/or receive benefits from the MIP will be subject to the terms and provisions of the MIP and are separate and distinct from Executive’s rights under this Agreement.

7.Employee Benefits. Executive shall be entitled to participate in the employee benefit plans offered by the Company to its employees generally (collectively, “Benefit Plans”), consistent with the terms of the applicable Benefit Plan. The Company reserves the right to amend or cancel any Benefit Plan in accordance with its terms. Executive shall be entitled to annual paid time off (“PTO”) in accordance with the Company’s PTO policies as in effect from time to time. Executive (or Executive’s spouse/family, if Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s death and Executive’s spouse/family was participating in the Company’s health insurance program at that time) shall be entitled to continue, at the Company’s expense for a period of eighteen (18) calendar months [24 MONTHS FOR CEO] following the month in which the date of termination of Executive’s employment occurs, to participate in and receive benefits and coverage under the Company’s Benefit Plans that provide health insurance to Company employees, with Executive being entitled to the levels of benefits and coverages that were in place for the Executive (and the Executive’s spouse/family if applicable) as of the date of termination of employment. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 7 to the contrary, if, upon Executive’s termination of employment, Executive (or Executive’s spouse if Executive’s employment is terminated due to Executive’s death) is entitled to participate in the Company’s Tier I Legacy Retiree Program, Tier II Legacy Retiree Program or Tier III – Post 65 Retiree Program (collectively, the “Legacy Retiree Programs”) and such Legacy Retiree Programs provide for Company-provided health insurance for a period of time in excess of the 18-month [24-MONTH FOR CEO] period referenced above, Executive and/or Executive’s spouse shall be entitled to participate in the applicable Legacy Retiree Program for such longer period as set forth in the applicable Legacy Retiree Program.

8.Termination of Employment. Executive’s employment hereunder may be terminated as follows:

(a)Automatically in the event of the death of Executive;

(b)At the option of the Company, by written notice to Executive or Executive’s personal representative, in the event of the Disability of Executive. “Disability” shall mean Executive’s complete and permanent disability as defined by the Company’s health insurance plans or as otherwise defined by the Company from time to time. Executive acknowledges and agrees that the determination of disability shall be within the sole, absolute and exclusive discretion of the Company;

(c)At the option of the Company for Cause, by delivering written notice to Executive. For purposes of this Agreement, “Cause” shall mean (i) any act of fraud or willful malfeasance committed by Executive; (ii) Executive’s willful engagement in conduct which is injurious to the Company or any of its affiliates, monetarily or otherwise if, after written notice by the Board or the Compensation Committee to Executive stating, with specificity, the alleged conduct and providing direction and a reasonable opportunity for Executive to address and/or cure any such alleged conduct, Executive then intentionally fails to address or exert reasonable efforts to cure such alleged conduct within ninety (90) days following Executive’s receipt of such written notice; (iii) Executive’s willful failure to perform Executive’s material duties under this Agreement if, after written notice by the Board or the Compensation Committee to Executive stating, with specificity, the duties Executive has failed to perform and providing direction and a reasonable opportunity for Executive to address and/or cure any such alleged failures, Executive then intentionally fails to address or exert reasonable efforts to cure alleged failures within ninety (90) days following Executive’s receipt of such written notice; (iv) Executive’s conviction of, or a plea of guilty or no contest to, any criminal offence involving fraud, misappropriation or moral turpitude; or (v) Executive’s willful engagement in conduct in violation of the Company’s policies and procedures including, but not limited to, the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Code of Business Conduct and Ethics dated August 9, 2018, as may be further amended;

(d)At the option of the Company at any time without Cause, by delivering written notice to Executive;

(e)At the option of Executive, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Company (which the Company may, in its sole discretion, make effective on the date of its receipt of such written notice or at any time within such 30-day period);

(f)At the option of the Executive or the Company upon a Change of Control of the Company. As used in this Agreement, a “Change of Control” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in the MIP; or

(g)Upon the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, provided, however, if Executive’s employment is not terminated on or before the termination of the initial 3-year term hereof, this Agreement shall then automatically renew for successive 1-year terms until

terminated pursuant to this Section 8. Either Executive or the Company (or both) may elect not to renew this Agreement at the end of the initial 3-year term by giving the other a written notice of non-renewal at least one-hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the end of the initial 3-year term. Either Executive or the Company (or both) may elect not to renew this Agreement at the end of any subsequent 1-year renewal term by giving the other a written notice of non-renewal at least one-hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the end of the respective 1-year renewal term.

9.Payments Upon Termination of Employment .

(i)(A) within thirty (30) days following such termination, payment of Executive’s accrued and unpaid Base Salary accrued through the date of termination and (B) all other accrued amounts or accrued benefits due to Executive in accordance with the Company’s benefit plans, programs or policies (other than severance), required by law; and

The Severance Amount is to be paid to Executive over the twelve (12) months following the date of termination (the “Severance Period”) payable in substantially equal installments in accordance with the Company’s regular payroll practices as in effect from time to time; provided, that the first payment pursuant to this Section 9(a)(ii) shall be made following the date of Executive’s termination of employment on the next regularly scheduled payroll date following the delivery by Executive to the Company of the General Release, as defined below, and any other documents or instruments required by the Company to be executed by Executive in standard terminations of employment as determined by the Company’s HR department. In the event of Executive’s death during the Severance Period, any payments to be made pursuant to this Section 9(a)(ii) shall be paid to the Executive’s legal representative.

All payments and benefits due to Executive under Section 9(a)(ii) shall be payable only if Executive executes and delivers to the Company a general release of claims in a form acceptable to the Company (the “General Release”). Failure to timely execute and return such General Release shall be a waiver by Executive of Executive’s right to severance (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include any amounts described in Section 9(a)(i) of this Agreement). In addition, any severance payments shall be conditioned on Executive’s compliance with Section 10 of this Agreement, and on Executive’s continued compliance with Section 11 and Section 12 of this Agreement as provided in Section 13 below.

10.Return of Company Property. Within ten (10) days following the effective date of Executive’s termination for any reason, Executive, or Executive’s personal representative shall return all property of the Company or any of its Affiliates in Executive’s possession, including, but not limited to, all Company-owned computer equipment (hardware and software), telephones, facsimile machines, tablet computers and other communication devices, credit cards, office keys, security access cards, badges, identification cards and all copies (including drafts) of any documentation or information (however stored) relating to the business of the Company or any of its Affiliates.

11.Confidentiality; Non-Solicitation; Non-Competition.

(a)Confidential and Proprietary Information.

Executive acknowledges that Executive will, during Executive’s association with the Company, acquire, or be exposed to, or have access to, materials, data and information that constitute valuable, confidential and proprietary information of the Company and its Affiliates, including, without limitation, any or all of the following: business plans, practices and procedures, pricing information, sales figures, profit or loss figures, this Agreement and its terms, information relating to tenants, occupants, intellectual property, suppliers, technology, sources of supply and customer lists, research, technical data, trade secrets, or know-how, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances, policies, training manuals and similar materials used by the Company in conducting its business operations, personnel information of any Person employed by the Company, potential business combinations, and such other information or material as the Company may designate as confidential and/or proprietary from time to time (collectively hereinafter, the “Confidential and Proprietary Information”). During Executive’s employment with the Company and at all times thereafter, Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use, misuse, misappropriate, disclose or make known, without the prior written approval of the Board, to any party, firm, corporation, association or other entity, any such Confidential and Proprietary Information for any reason or purpose whatsoever, except as may be required in the course of Executive’s performance of Executive’s duties hereunder. In consideration of the unique nature of the Confidential and Proprietary Information, all obligations pertaining to the confidentiality and nondisclosure thereof shall remain in effect until the Company and its Affiliates have released such information; provided, that the provisions of this Section 11(a) shall not apply to the disclosure of Confidential and Proprietary Information to the Company’s Affiliates together with each of their respective shareholders, directors, officers,

accountants, lawyers and other representatives or agents, nor to a Permitted Disclosure as defined in Section 11(b) below. In addition, it shall not be a breach of the confidentiality obligations hereof if Executive is required by applicable law to disclose any Confidential and Proprietary Information; provided, that in such case, Executive shall (x) give the Company the earliest notice possible that such disclosure is or may be required and (y) cooperate with the Company, at the Company’s expense, in protecting to the maximum extent legally permitted, the confidential or proprietary nature of the Confidential and Proprietary Information which must be so disclosed. Upon termination of Executive’s employment, Executive agrees that all Confidential and Proprietary Information, directly or indirectly, in Executive’s possession that is in writing or other tangible form (together with all duplicates thereof) will promptly (and in any event within 10 days following such termination) be returned to the Company and will not be retained by Executive or furnished to any person, either by sample, facsimile film, audio or video cassette, electronic data, verbal communication or any other means of communication.

(b)Permitted Disclosure. This Agreement does not limit or interfere with Executive’s right, without notice to or authorization of the Company, to communicate and cooperate in good faith with any self-regulatory organization or U.S. federal, state, or local governmental or law enforcement branch, agency, commission, or entity (collectively, a “Government Entity”) for the purpose of (i) reporting a possible violation of any U.S. federal, state, or local law or regulation, (ii) participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted or managed by any Government Entity, including by providing documents or other information, or (iii) filing a charge or complaint with a Government Entity, provided that in each case, such communications, participation, and disclosures are consistent with applicable law. Additionally, Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, or to an attorney, solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law, or (B) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by an employer for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the trade secret to the Executive’s attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Executive files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. All disclosures permitted under this Section 11(b) are herein referred to as “Permitted Disclosures.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, under no circumstance will Executive be authorized to disclose any Confidential and Proprietary Information as to which the Company may assert protections from disclosure under the attorney-client privilege or the attorney work product doctrine, without prior written consent of Company’s General Counsel or other authorized officer designated by the Company.

(c)Non-Solicitation. Except as provided below in this Section 11(c), Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period (defined below), the Executive will not, without written consent of the Company, directly or indirectly, solicit, recruit, induce or encourage to leave employment or association with the Company or a subsidiary, or to become employed by, become associated with or consult for, any Person other than the Company or a subsidiary, or to hire, attempt to hire, employ or engage (whether as an employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or otherwise), any Person who or which is or was employed or engaged

by the Company or a subsidiary at any time during the Restricted Period or the one-year period preceding the Restricted Period, or directly or indirectly, solicit or accept business from, any Person who is a customer, client or supplier of the Company or a subsidiary, with whom Executive has had, or employees reporting to Executive have had, personal contact or dealings on behalf of the Company during the one-year period preceding the Restricted Period, or induce or encourage any such Person to cease to engage the services of the Company or a subsidiary in order to use the services of any Person that competes with a business of the Company or a subsidiary. “Restricted Period” means the period beginning on the date of this Agreement and ending on the one-year anniversary of the date on which the Executive’s employment is terminated. “Person” means an individual, a partnership, a corporation, an association, a limited liability company, a joint stock company, a trust, a joint venture, an unincorporated organization or a governmental entity or any department, agency or political subdivision thereof. “Solicit” shall mean making any direct or indirect communication of any kind, regardless of who initiates it, or engaging in any conduct, that in any way invites, advises, encourages, or requests any Person to take or refrain from taking any action. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 11(c) to the contrary, the restrictions of this Section 11(c) shall not apply if the Executive was terminated during the Term of this Agreement by the Company without Cause.

(d)Non-Competition. Except as provided below in this Section 11(d), Executive agrees that during the Restricted Period, the Executive will not, directly or indirectly, individually or on behalf of any Person, whether for compensation or otherwise, engage in Competing Business in any state of the United States of America in which the Company or a subsidiary did business during the Executive’s service, or any other jurisdiction in which the Company engages in business or derives a material portion of its revenues, or where the Company has plans to commence business activities. “Competing Business” means any business engaged in by the Company on the date of Executive’s termination or any business activity in which the Company has substantive plans to engage as of the date of Executive’s termination. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 11(d) to the contrary, the restrictions of this Section 11(d) shall not apply if the Executive was terminated during the Term of this Agreement by the Company without Cause.

(e)Nondisparagement. Executive agrees that Executive shall refrain at all times from making, directly or indirectly, any disparaging or defamatory comments concerning the Company, any of its Affiliates, or any of the Company’s or its Affiliates’ respective businesses, products or services, or their respective current or former directors, officers, agents, partners, shareholders or employees, either publicly or privately. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any truthful statement made to comply with law or regulation or in any response to questions or other requests for information by any court, arbitrator, mediator or administrative or legislative body with apparent jurisdiction over the applicable parties shall be deemed not to violate the obligations of the Company under this provision Nothing in this Section 11(e) shall interfere with Executive’s ability to make the Permitted Disclosures as defined in Section 11(b) above.

(f)Tolling. In the event of any violation of the provisions of this Section 11, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the post-termination restrictions contained in this Section 11 shall be extended by a period of time equal to the period of such violation, it being

the intention of the parties hereto that the running of the applicable post-termination restriction period shall be tolled during any period of such violation.

12.Cooperation. From and after an Executive’s termination of employment, Executive shall provide Executive’s reasonable cooperation in connection with any action or proceeding (or any appeal from any action or proceeding) which relates to events occurring during Executive’s employment hereunder, and assist and advise the Company in any investigation which may be performed by the Company, provided, that the Company shall reimburse Executive for Executive’s reasonable costs and expenses and such cooperation shall not unreasonably burden Executive or unreasonably interfere with any subsequent employment that Executive may undertake. In the event Executive is subpoenaed by any person or entity (including, but not limited to, any Government Entity) to give testimony or provide documents (in a deposition, court proceeding, or otherwise), that in any way relates to Executive’s employment by the Company, Executive will give prompt notice of such subpoena to the Company and will make no disclosure until the Company has had a reasonable opportunity to contest the right of the requesting person or entity to such disclosure. Nothing in this Section 12 shall limit Executive’s right to make Permitted Disclosures as provided in Section 11(b) above.

13.Injunctive Relief and Specific Performance. Executive understands and agrees that Executive’s covenants under Sections 10, 11 and 12 are special and unique and that the Company and its Affiliates may suffer irreparable harm if Executive breaches any of Sections 10, 11, or 12 because monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate the Company and its Affiliates for the breach of any of these sections. Accordingly, Executive acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall, in addition to any other remedies available to the Company at law or in equity, be entitled to obtain specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief by a federal or state court in Chattanooga, Tennessee to enforce the provisions of Sections 10, 11 and/or 12 without the necessity of posting a bond or proving actual damages, without liability should such relief be denied, modified or vacated. Additionally, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by Executive of Section 11, in addition to all other available legal and equitable rights and remedies, the Company shall have the right to cease making payments, if any, being made pursuant to Section 9(a)(ii) hereunder. Executive also recognizes that the territorial, time and scope limitations set forth in Section 11 are reasonable and are properly required for the protection of the Company and its Affiliates, and in the event that a court of competent jurisdiction deems any territorial, time or scope limitation in this Agreement to be unreasonable, the Company and Executive agree, and Executive submits, to the reduction of any or all of said territorial, time or scope limitations to such an area, period or scope as said court shall deem reasonable under the circumstances.

CBL PROPERTIEs enters into restructuring support agreement WITH noteholders to significantly strengthen its capital structure

Approximately $900 million of Debt and at Least $600 Million of Other Obligations to be Eliminated

and Maturity Schedule Significantly Lengthened

Highly Experienced and Dedicated Leadership Team to Continue to Lead CBL

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (August 19, 2020) – CBL Properties (NYSE:CBL) today announced that the Company has entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with certain beneficial owners and/or investment advisors or managers of discretionary funds, accounts, or other entities (the “noteholders”) representing in excess of 57% of the aggregate principal amount of the Operating Partnership’s 5.25% senior unsecured notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes”), the Operating Partnership’s 4.60% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (the “2024 Notes”) and the Operating Partnership’s 5.95% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes” and together with the 2023 Notes and the 2024 Notes, the “Unsecured Notes”).

The terms of the RSA provide for a comprehensive restructuring of the Company’s balance sheet (the "Plan") through an in-court process contemplated to commence no later than October 1, 2020. The Company intends to continue collaborative negotiations with its senior, secured lenders in the meantime to attempt to reach a consensual arrangement with those lenders. In the event that such an arrangement were reached, the Company would amend the RSA to include its senior secured lenders. The agreement may be amended by the Company and with the consent of noteholders representing at least 75% of the Unsecured Notes that are held by noteholders that are party to the RSA.

The Plan would eliminate the approximately $1.4 billion principal amount of Unsecured Notes in exchange for the issuance of $500 million of new senior secured notes due June 2028, approximately $50 million of cash and approximately 90% of the new common equity of the Company to holders of the Unsecured Notes. As a result, the Plan, if implemented, will result in the elimination of approximately $900 million of debt, extension of the Company’s debt maturity schedule and a reduction in annual interest expense of more than $20 million. The Plan also contemplates eliminating the Company’s more than $600 million obligation on its preferred stock in exchange for new common equity and warrants. In sum, the Plan will provide the Company with a significantly stronger balance sheet by reducing total debt, extending debt maturities and increasing liquidity while minimizing operational disruptions.

Through this process, all day-to-day operations and business of the Company’s wholly owned, joint venture and third-party managed shopping centers will continue as normal. CBL’s customers, tenants and partners can expect business as usual at all of CBL’s owned and managed properties.

“Reaching this agreement with our noteholders is a major milestone for CBL,” said Stephen D. Lebovitz, Chief Executive Officer of CBL. “The agreement will significantly improve our balance sheet by reducing leverage and increasing net cash flow and will simplify our capital structure, providing enhanced financial flexibility going forward.

“We also appreciate the confidence in the CBL organization and leadership team shown by the noteholders as we’ve worked collaboratively to find a solution that benefits all company stakeholders. Our goal is for this process to proceed as smoothly and as quickly as possible with no disruption to CBL’s operations. Once the process is complete, we will emerge as a stronger and more stable company, with an enhanced ability to execute on our key strategies of diversifying our sources of revenue and transforming our properties from traditional enclosed malls to suburban town centers. As a result, we will be better positioned to grow our business over the near and long term.”

CBL currently has approximately $220 million in cash on hand and available for sale securities. The Company’s cash position, combined with positive cash flow generated by ongoing operations, is expected to be sufficient to meet CBL’s operational and restructuring needs.

Certain subsidiaries, including CBL’s joint ventures and CBL’s special purpose entities holding properties that secure mortgage loans, are not contemplated to be included as part of the in-court process. CBL anticipates continuing to meet all debt service and other obligations, as required, under its property level secured loans and joint venture partnerships.

Risk Factors The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19 has, and could continue to, materially and adversely impact or disrupt our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance, as could any future outbreak of another highly infectious or contagious disease. Since being reported in December 2019, COVID-19 has spread globally, including to every state in the United States. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the United States declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, repercussions across regional and global economies and financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 in many countries, including the United States, has significantly adversely impacted global economic activity and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and, as cases of COVID-19 have continued to be identified in additional countries, many - including the United States - have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. Certain states and cities, including where we own properties and where our corporate headquarters is located, have also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter-in-place” rules, restrictions on types of business that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. The Company cannot predict if additional states and cities will implement similar restrictions or when restrictions currently in place will be lifted . As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly, including the retail industry in which the Company and our tenants operate. A majority of our tenants have announced temporary closures or other limits on the operations of their stores and requested rent deferral or rent abatement during this pandemic or have failed to pay rent. In addition, state, local or industry-initiated efforts, such as tenant rent freezes, or governmental or court-imposed delays in the processing of landlord initiated commercial eviction and collection actions in various jurisdictions in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, may also affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. We believe our tenants do not have a contractual right to cease paying rent due to government-mandated closures and we intend to enforce our rights under our lease agreements. However, COVID-19 and the related governmental orders present fairly novel situations for which the ultimate legal outcome cannot be assured, and it is possible future governmental action could impact our rights under the lease agreements. The extent of tenant requests and actions, and the resulting impact to the Company’s results of operations and cash flows, is uncertain and cannot be predicted.

Risk Factors In addition, in response to an executive order issued by state and local authorities, most of our employees based at our headquarters are currently working remotely. The effects of the executive order, including an extended period of remote work arrangements, could strain our business continuity plans, introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and impair our ability to manage our business. The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could also have further material and adverse effects on our ability to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors: a complete or partial closure of, or other operational issues at, one or more of our properties resulting from government or tenant action; the reduced economic activity severely impacts our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations; the reduced economic activity, as well as any lasting reduction in consumer activity at brick-and-mortar commercial establishments due to changed habits in response to the prolonged existence and threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in a prolonged recession and could negatively impact consumer discretionary spending; difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, impacts to our credit ratings, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis and our tenants' ability to fund their business operations and meet their obligations to us; permitting, inspections and reviews by jurisdictional planning commissions and authorities is also likely to be delayed or postponed which could materially impact the timeline and budgets for completing redevelopments; projects in our redevelopment pipeline may not be pursued or may be completed later or with higher costs than anticipated, potentially causing a loss that exceeds our investment in the project; the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic could negatively impact our future compliance with financial covenants of our credit facility, indentures and other recourse and non-recourse debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, which non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our revolving credit facility and pay dividends;

Risk Factors any impairment in value of our tangible assets and intangible lease assets that could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions; a deterioration in our or our tenants' ability to operate in affected areas or delays in the supply of products or services to us or our tenants from vendors that are needed for our or our tenants' efficient operations could adversely affect our operations and those of our tenants; the ability to renew leases or re-lease vacant spaces on favorable terms, or at all; and the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Additional closures by our tenants of their stores and early terminations by our tenants of their leases could further reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to resume paying dividends to our stockholders at any point in the future. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Additional closures by our tenants of their stores and early terminations by our tenants of their leases could further reduce our cash flows, which could impact our ability to resume paying dividends to our stockholders at any point in the future. The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. T he COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. Please see CBL’s filings with the SEC for additional risk factors.

CBL Properties CBL Properties owns and manages a national portfolio of market-dominant properties located in dynamic and growing markets Portfolio: 108 properties 59 malls 5 outlet centers 23 associated centers 6 community centers 6 office buildings 9 properties managed for 3rd parties

Strategic Objectives Operational Objectives: Near-term: Preserve occupancy/rents by negotiating short-term renewal leases with troubled retailers and long-term renewal leases with healthy in-demand retailers. Supplement revenue with temporary leasing to locals and regionals and other sources of income. Mid-term: Diversify revenue and improve tenant credit through focus on non-retail new leasing, densification of parking lots and anchor redevelopment. Approximately 76% of total new mall leases in 2019 were to non-apparel tenants. Redevelopment/Portfolio Positioning Objectives: Near-term: Mitigate co-tenancy/revenue loss through quick capital-lite backfill solutions including ground-lease structures, leases with minimal TA, vacant parcel sales, facilitating third-party buyers, etc. Mid-term: Continue accretive redevelopments of former anchor locations that demonstrate high ROI/value creation opportunities through use of available excess cash flow and by contributing value of existing land in joint venture structures. Financial Objectives: Near and Mid-term: Proactively reduce leverage by completing a holistic restructuring of CBL’s balance sheet including: Reducing exposure to unsecured notes Improving interest coverage ratios through lowering interest expense Substantially lengthening debt maturity profile Transform CBL’s portfolio of market-dominant enclosed regional malls into dynamic high-traffic suburban town centers - leading to stabilized revenues, a diversified tenant base and enhanced portfolio value

COVID-19 Impact and Response Portfolio Implications of COVID-19 Pandemic: COVID-19 is pulling forward several years of retailer fallout. Green Street forecasts more than half of mall-based department stores will close by 2021. Tenants with weaker liquidity positions or subpar business models will struggle to survive the COVID-19 pandemic and its widespread economic impact. J. Crew, JCPenney bankruptcies and Pier One liquidation are recent examples. The majority of the properties in the CBL portfolio closed during the month of March 2020 as a result of government-mandated orders. CBL believes it fully preserved its lease rights by closing locations when governmentally mandated and has notified the majority of national tenants that did not pay April rents that they are in default of their lease obligation. As of June 9, 2020, all but one property had reopened, including two for curbside or exterior only. CBL April rent collections were approximately 27% of billed cash-based rents, and estimates for May rent collections are approximately 32%. CBL was collecting ~25% as of the middle of May and ended May at ~32% collections. Collection rates have continued to improve through June. The majority of CBL’s tenants have requested deferral of rent or in certain instances, abatement of rents due. Given that stores were closed for roughly 6-8 weeks and sales recovery is anticipated to be gradual, CBL is working with many of its tenants on partial rent deferral or relief.

COVID-19 Impact and Response Significant Actions Taken to Preserve/Enhance Liquidity: CBL has implemented comprehensive programs to halt all non-essential expenditures, to reduce operating and overhead expenses and to reduce, defer or suspend capital expenditures, including redevelopment investments. The impact of these programs is reflected on the Cash Flow projections provided herein and include: Temporary reductions to executive compensation, including a 50% reduction for CBL’s Chairman, CEO and President, a 50% reduction to independent director fees and a 20% reduction for other officers; A broad-based 60-day furlough program impacting approximately 300 employees, or 60% of CBL’s workforce; 10% salary reductions for the full staff starting April 1; Capital expenditure reductions or deferrals, including redevelopment expenditures, estimated in the range of $60 million - $80 million; Suspension or delay of all other non-essential expenditures. CBL has also taken actions to improve its liquidity position to help offset the impact to near-term cash flows. In March, CBL completed a $280 million aggregate draw on its line of credit, which represented substantially all the remaining available balance. CBL has also been able to achieve debt service payment deferrals for certain secured loans.

Criteria for Investments Stand-alone unlevered return. Cross-benefit to the entire center (will the project drive additional traffic/sales to the center and ultimately result in higher renewal spreads for existing tenants/percentage rents/advertising opportunities, etc.). Defensive nature of the project - does it solve any co-tenancy by preserving revenue and what impact will long-term anchor vacancy have on the property? Is the mall unencumbered, collateral or secured? If secured, does it make sense to invest relative to the mortgage value, and will CBL recover the investment through the property’s cash flows? Are there capital-lite alternatives (joint ventures, vacant parcel sales, ground lease structures, etc.) that allow CBL to complete a transformative redevelopment while investing limited or no capital? What is the risk that additional anchors will close and the impact that may have on the current project plans? Are we diversifying the uses and improving tenant credit quality? Long-term viability of the mall (i.e., competitive position, demographic shifts, etc.) Prudent Capital Allocation – CBL evaluates every project to ensure stringent investment criteria are met prior to project start
