Capital Markets
On May 13th, the Company announced the sale of $1.5 billion of senior
notes by its majority-owned partnership subsidiary, Simon Property Group, L.P.
The offering consisted of $700 million of 5.300% notes due 2013 and $800
million of 6.125% notes due 2018. Each tranche of notes was priced to yield
235 basis points above its respective Treasury benchmark. The offering closed
on May 19, 2008. Net proceeds from the offering were used to reduce the
outstanding balance of the Company's corporate credit facility and for general
corporate purposes.
On June 16th, the Operating Partnership completed the redemption of $200
million of 7% MandatOry Par Put Remarketed Securities (MOPPRS). The redemption
was accounted for as an extinguishment, and resulted in a second quarter
charge of approximately $20.3 million. The extinguishment charge was a
function of the remarketing reset base rate of the MOPPRS being higher than
the current base rate for the 30-year U.S. Treasury.

Notes:
(A) Consolidation occurs when the Company acquires an additional ownership
interest in a joint venture and, as a result, gains control of the joint
venture. These interests have been separated from operational interests to
present comparative results of operations.
(B) Discontinued joint venture interests represent assets and partnership
interests that have been sold.
(C) Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of the
Company's investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the
partnerships and joint ventures. The Company generally amortizes excess
investment over the life of the related properties, typically no greater than
40 years, and the amortization is included in income from unconsolidated
entities.

Footnotes to Reconciliation of Net Income to FFO
Unaudited
Notes:
(1) The Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance
that is not specifically defined by GAAP and believes that FFO is helpful to
investors because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of
REITs and provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. The Company
also uses this measure internally to measure the operating performance of the
portfolio. The Company's computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO
reported by other REITs.
The Company determines FFO in accordance with the definition set forth by
the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). As
defined by NAREIT, FFO is consolidated net income computed in accordance with
GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding
gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the
sales of real estate, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated
joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a
consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. The Company has adopted NAREIT's
clarification of the definition of FFO that requires it to include the effects
of nonrecurring items not classified as extraordinary, cumulative effect of
accounting change or resulting from the sale of depreciable real estate.
However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from
operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to
net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating
performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity.
