The following dispositions impacted the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008: On April 25, 2005, in connection with the acquisition of Wilmorite Holdings, L.P. and its affiliates, the Company issued as part of the consideration participating and non-participating convertible preferred units in MACWH, LP. On January 1, 2008, a subsidiary of the Company, at the election of the holders, redeemed approximately 3.4 million participating convertible preferred units in exchange for the distribution of the interests in the entity which held that portion of the Wilmorite portfolio that consisted of Eastview Commons, Eastview Mall, Greece Ridge Center, Marketplace Mall and Pittsford Plaza ("Rochester Properties"). This exchange is referred to as the "Rochester Redemption." As a result of the Rochester Redemption , the Company recorded a gain of $99.3 million for the period ended March 31, 2008 and classified the gain to discontinued operations. On December 19, 2008, the Company sold the fee simple and/or ground leasehold interests in three freestanding Mervyn's buildings to the Pacific Premier Retail Trust joint venture for $43.4 million. As a result of the sale, the Company has classified the results of operations to discontinued operations for all periods presented. (b) On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FASB Staff Position APB 14- 1, "Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled Upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement)" (FSP APB 14-1"). As a result, the Company retrospectively applied FSP APB 14-1 to the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 resulting in an increase to interest expense of $3.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively, and a decrease to net income available to common stockholders of $3.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively, or $0.04 and $0.07 per share, respectively. FSP APB 14-1 decreased FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 by $3.5 million and $7.1 million, respectively, or by $0.04 per share and $0.08 per share, respectively. (c) This includes, using the equity method of accounting, the Company's prorata share of the equity in income or loss of its unconsolidated joint ventures for all periods presented. (d) On February 25, 1998, the Company sold $100 million of convertible preferred stock representing 3.627 million shares. The convertible preferred shares were convertible on a 1 for 1 basis for common stock. The preferred shares were assumed converted for purposes of net income per share - diluted for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The weighted average preferred shares are assumed converted for purposes of FFO per share - diluted for 2008. On October 18, 2007, 560,000 shares of convertible preferred stock were converted to common shares. Additionally, on May 6, 2008, May 8, 2008 and September 18, 2008, 684,000, 1,338,860 and 1,044,271 shares of convertible preferred stock were converted to common shares, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, there was no convertible preferred stock outstanding. (e) The Macerich Partnership, LP (the "Operating Partnership" or the "OP") has operating partnership units ("OP units"). OP units can be converted into shares of Company common stock. Conversion of the OP units not owned by the Company has been assumed for purposes of calculating the FFO per share and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The computation of average shares for FFO - diluted includes the effect of share and unit-based compensation plans and convertible senior notes using the treasury stock method. It also assumes conversion of MACWH, LP preferred and common units to the extent they are dilutive to the calculation. (f) The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) measures. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO and FFO on a fully diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as the Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. FFO on a fully diluted basis is one of the measures investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. FFO as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts. Gains or losses on sales of undepreciated assets and the impact of SFAS 141 have been included in FFO. The inclusion of gains on sales of undepreciated assets increased FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 by $1.1 million, $2.5 million, $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, or by $0.01 per share, $0.03 per share, $0.01 per share and $0.03 per share, respectively. Additionally, SFAS 141 increased FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 by $3.0 million, $7.2 million, $3.9 million and $8.5 million, respectively, or by $0.03 per share, $0.08 per share, $0.04 per share and $0.10 per share, respectively.

Management considers EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps investors understand the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies. (h) The Company presents same-center NOI because the Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate the operating performance of comparable centers. Same-center NOI is calculated using total EBITDA and subtracting out EBITDA from non-comparable centers and eliminating the management companies and the Company's general and administrative expenses. Same center NOI excludes the impact of straight-line and SFAS 141 adjustments to minimum rents.
