        Construction continues on five new Premium Outlet Centers scheduled to open in 2013:

Phase I of the project will be comprised of 360,000 square feet housing approximately 90 outlet stores featuring high-quality designer and name brands. The Company owns 100% of this project which is scheduled to open on April 4th.

    In Shisui (Chiba), Japan—a 230,000 square foot upscale outlet center located one hour from central Tokyo and 15 minutes from Narita International Airport. The center is scheduled to open on April 19th with approximately 110 stores, including international brands, Japanese brands and restaurants. The Company owns a 40% interest in this project, its ninth Premium Outlet Center in Japan.

The Company owns a 50% interest in this project which is scheduled to open on August 1st.

    In Chesterfield (St. Louis), Missouri—an upscale outlet center that is a part of Chesterfield Blue Valley, a mixed-use development to include office space, hotel, restaurant and entertainment venues. Located on the south side of I-64/US Highway 40 east of the Daniel Boone Bridge, the

      center's first phase of 350,000 square feet with 85 stores will open on August 22nd. The Company owns a 60% interest in this Premium Outlet Center.

    In Busan, Korea—a 340,000 square foot upscale outlet center that will serve southeastern Korea, including the cities of Busan, Ulsan and Daegu, as well as local and overseas visitors. The center is scheduled to open in September. The Company owns a 50% interest in this project, which will be its third Premium Outlet Center in Korea.

        Redevelopment and expansion projects are underway at 24 properties in the U.S. and two properties in Asia. During 2012, 56 new anchor and big box tenants opened in the Company's U.S. portfolio and more than 30 are currently scheduled to open in 2013.

Acquisition Activity

        On December 5, 2012, the Company announced completion of the acquisition of outlet centers in Grand Prairie, Texas and Livermore, California. Simon now owns 100% of each asset.

    The 417,000 square foot Grand Prairie center, serving the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, is home to more than 100 leading designer and name brand outlet stores. The center opened in August of 2012 and is 100% leased.

    The 512,000 square foot Livermore center, located in the affluent East Bay area of San Francisco, is home to 130 leading designer and name brand outlet stores. The center opened in November of 2012 and is 100% leased.

    Simon has assumed management responsibilities for the centers which have been rebranded Grand Prairie Premium Outlets and Livermore Premium Outlets.

        During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company and Institutional Mall Investors ("IMI"), the co-investment venture owned by an affiliate of Miller Capital Advisory, Inc. and The California Public Employees' Retirement System ("CalPERS"), formed a joint venture to own and operate The Shops at Mission Viejo ("Mission Viejo") in the Los Angeles suburb of Mission Viejo, California, and Woodfield Mall ("Woodfield") in the Chicago suburb of Schaumburg, Illinois. Simon and IMI each own 50% of Woodfield and Simon owns 51% of Mission Viejo and IMI owns the remaining 49%. Prior to formation of the joint venture, Simon owned 100% of Mission Viejo and IMI owned 100% of Woodfield. Simon is responsible for leasing and management for both properties.

        Mission Viejo is a 1.2 million square foot center anchored by Nordstrom and Macy's. Woodfield is a 2.2 million square foot center anchored by Nordstrom, Macy's, Lord & Taylor, JCPenney and Sears.

        Woodfield is encumbered by a $425 million mortgage loan which matures in March of 2024 and bears interest at 4.5%. In January of 2013, the joint venture closed a $295 million mortgage on Mission Viejo which bears interest at 3.61% and matures in February of 2023.

        On December 17, 2012, the Company's majority-owned operating partnership subsidiary, Simon Property Group, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), closed two debt offerings:

    A public offering of $500 million principal amount of 2.75% senior unsecured notes due February 1, 2023 and

2013 Guidance

        The Company estimates that FFO will be within a range of $8.40 to $8.50 per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2013, and diluted net income will be within a range of $3.55 to $3.65 per share.

        The following table provides the reconciliation of the range of estimated diluted net income available to common stockholders per share to estimated diluted FFO per share.

For the year ending December 31, 2013

 
  Low End   High End  

Estimated diluted net income available to common stockholders per share

  $ 3.55   $ 3.65

Estimated diluted FFO per share

  $ 8.40   $ 8.50  
           

        The 2013 guidance reflects management's view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, capital spend on new and redevelopment activities, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and previously disclosed. The guidance also reflects management's view of future capital market conditions, which is generally consistent with the current forward rates for LIBOR and U.S. Treasury bonds. The guidance takes into account the impact of all transactions that have already occurred, but does not assume any additional acquisition or disposition transactions. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization or gains or losses resulting from the sale or disposal of, or impairment charges relating to, previously depreciated operating properties. This guidance is a forward-looking statement and is subject to the risks and other factors described elsewhere in this release.

Simon Property Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Footnotes to Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

         Notes:

(A)
Primarily consists of 2012 and 2011 non-cash gains resulting from our acquisition activity and the remeasurement of our previously held interest to fair value for those properties in which we now have a controlling interest.

(B)
Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of the Company's investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the related partnerships and joint ventures shown therein. The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related properties.

(C)
The Unaudited Joint Venture Statements of Operations do not include any operations or our share of net income or excess investment amortization related to our investment in Klépierre. Amounts included in Footnotes E—H below exclude our share of related activity for our investment in Klépierre. For further information, reference should be made to financial information in Klépierre's public filings and additional discussion and analysis in our Form 10-K.

(D)
This report contains measures of financial or operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP, including FFO and FFO per share. FFO is a performance measure that is standard in the REIT business. We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with those of other REITs. We also use these measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our portfolio. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.

    The Company determines FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). The Company determines FFO to be our share of 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 or disposals of, or any impairment charges related to, previously depreciated operating properties, 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 changes, or a gain or loss resulting from the sale or disposal of, or any impairment charges relating to, previously depreciated operating properties. We include in FFO gains and losses realized from the sale of land, outlot buildings, marketable and non-marketable securities, and investment holdings of non-retail 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.

(E)
Includes the Company's share of gains on land sales of $7.9 million and $1.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $19.6 million and $6.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(F)
Includes the Company's share of straight-line adjustments to minimum rent of $12.6 million and $11.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $44.3 million and $37.2 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(G)
Includes the Company's share of the amortization of fair market value of leases from acquisitions of $4.8 million and $5.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $21.0 million and $22.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

(H)
Includes the Company's share of debt premium amortization of $12.1 million and $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and $41.8 million and $10.0 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.
