On October 2, 2012, DDR Corp. (the “Company”) entered into separate Sales Agency Financing Agreements (collectively, the “Agreements”) with BNY Mellon Capital Markets, LLC and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc., respectively (the “Sales Agents”). Under the terms of the Agreements, the Company may issue and sell, from time to time through either of the Sales Agents, up to an aggregate of $200,000,000 of its common shares, $0.10 par value per share (the “Shares”). The term of each of the Agreements will be a period of up to three years. The Sales Agents will act as the Company’s agents in connection with any offerings of the Shares under the Agreements.

The Shares may be offered in one or more selling periods, none of which will exceed 20 trading days. The sales, if any, of the Shares under either of the Agreements will be made in “at the market offerings” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange, to or through a market maker or through an electronic communications network, or, if the Company and either of the Sales Agents agree in writing, sales may be made in privately negotiated transactions. The Company shall specify to the applicable Sales Agent (i) the aggregate selling price of the Shares to be sold during a selling period, which may not exceed $100,000,000 without the applicable Sales Agent’s prior written consent, and (ii) the minimum price below which sales may not be made, which may not be less than $2.00 per share without the applicable Sales Agent’s prior written consent.

The Company will pay each Sales Agent a commission at a mutually agreed rate, not to exceed 2.0% of the sales price of all Shares sold through it as agent under the applicable Agreement, plus its reasonable documented out-of-pocket expenses, including fees and expenses of counsel (up to $40,000 in the aggregate), as well as legal fees in connection with continuing due diligence (up to $15,000 for any fiscal quarter) in connection with its services under the applicable Agreement.

The Shares will be issued pursuant to the Company’s automatic shelf registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (File No. 333-184221) filed on October 1, 2012 with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company filed a prospectus supplement, dated October 2, 2012, to the prospectus, dated October 1, 2012, with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares.

The Agreements are filed as Exhibit 1.1 and Exhibit 1.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference. This description of the material terms of the Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibits.

In the ordinary course of business, the Sales Agents and/or their respective affiliates have provided, and may in the future provide, investment banking, commercial banking, corporate trust services and other services for the Company from time to time for which they have received, and will in the future receive, customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. The Sales Agents or their respective affiliates are lenders under the Company’s $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility and the Company’s secured term loan. Upon any application of the net proceeds from the sale of Shares pursuant to either of the Agreements to repay amounts outstanding under this facility or this loan, each such lender will receive its proportionate share of the amount being repaid.
