BEACHWOOD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DDR Corp. (NYSE: DDR) today announced that its Board of Directors has set record and distribution dates for the spin-off of a portfolio of 49 assets that includes 37 continental U.S. assets and all 12 of its Puerto Rico assets into a separate publicly traded company, which will be effected through the distribution of 100 percent of the common shares of Retail Value Inc.

The board's decision was followed by the filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 4, 2018 of the RVI Registration Statement on Form 10 (the "Form 10"), a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.
The distribution date for the RVI common shares is expected to be on or about July 1, 2018.

DDR shareholders will receive one RVI common share for every ten common shares of DDR held at the close of business on the record date of June 26, 2018. DDR shareholders entitled to receive the July 1 distribution will receive a book-entry account statement or a credit to their brokerage account reflecting their new ownership of RVI common shares. Fractional shares of RVI will not be distributed, and instead DDR common shareholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares that they would otherwise be entitled to receive in the distribution.
DDR expects “when-issued” public trading for RVI common shares will commence on the NYSE on or about June 25, 2018, under the ticker symbol “RVI WI,” and will continue through the distribution date. DDR also anticipates that "regular way" trading of RVI common shares will begin on July 2, 2018, which is expected to be the first trading day following the distribution date.

DDR Reports First Quarter 2018 Operating Results (4/24/18)
BEACHWOOD, Ohio--(BUSINESS WIRE)--DDR Corp. (NYSE: DDR) today announced operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.
“I am thrilled with our progress in the first quarter, both operationally and with the execution of our strategic transformation through the planned spin-off of RVI. Our strong same store NOI and operating FFO results were ahead of our budget, and demonstrate the strength of our high-quality portfolio. The completion of the securitization of the $1.35 billion mortgage loan secured by the RVI assets represented the last significant hurdle ahead of the expected July spin-off. Finally, we closed the disposition of our first RVI asset at a compelling price, an auspicious beginning for the execution of RVI’s business plan,” commented David R. Lukes, president and chief executive officer.
Results for the Quarter
First quarter net loss attributable to common shareholders was $62.5 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, as compared to net loss of $59.8 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the year ago-period. The year-over-year increase in net loss is primarily attributable to debt extinguishment charges and transaction costs of $61.6 million partially offset by lower impairment charges and the reserve on preferred equity interests in 2017.
First quarter operating funds from operations attributable to common shareholders (“Operating FFO” or “OFFO”) was $97.8 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $108.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the year ago-period. The year-over-year decrease in OFFO is primarily attributable to the dilutive impact of deleveraging asset sales partially offset by a reduction in general and administrative expenses.
Significant First Quarter Activity
Sold 15 shopping centers and land parcels for an aggregate sales price of $365.9 million, totaling $208.7 million at DDR’s share, including $36.1 million from the repayment of the Company’s preferred equity investment in its two joint ventures with Blackstone.
In February 2018, in connection with the previously announced planned spin-off of 38 continental U.S. assets and all 12 Puerto Rico assets into RVI, completed $1.35 billion of mortgage financing and repaid $452 million of mortgage debt, $900 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes and $200 million of unsecured term loan using proceeds from the new financing and asset sales. DDR recorded approximately $5.2 million of costs related to the planned RVI spin-off in the first quarter of 2018.
Sold Silver Spring Square in Harrisburg, PA, for $80.8 million on April 17, 2018 marking the completion of the first RVI asset sale.
Key Quarterly Operating Results
Reported 2.6% same store net operating income growth on a pro rata basis for New DDR. The results of “New DDR” represent the results of the assets that will remain in DDR after the completion of both the spin-off of RVI and the previously announced $900 million disposition program.
Generated new leasing spreads of 21.2% and renewal leasing spreads of 6.4%, both on a pro rata basis for New DDR for the quarter, and new leasing spreads of 21.6% and renewal leasing spreads of 7.2%, both on a pro rata basis for New DDR for the trailing twelve-month period.
Reported a leased rate of 93.7% at March 31, 2018 for New DDR on a pro rata basis, compared to 93.6% at December 31, 2017.
Annualized base rent per occupied square foot on a pro rata basis was $17.29 at March 31, 2018 for New DDR, compared to $17.00 at March 31, 2017.
Guidance
There has been no change in the Company’s Operating FFO per share guidance since the initial release on February 15, 2018 and the related assumptions. The Company continues to estimate Operating FFO for the third quarter of 2018 to be at least $0.15 per diluted share, after an assumed spin-off date of July 2018.

Got It! Look at er' climb today.
Out @ $10.00, profit of $5.67 per share.
Damn, I knew I should have checked earlier at open, would have changed that GTC. Oh, well....nice chunk of change added to my account today.
One thing I must say....I'm no expert at this but what made all my investments profitable (except CGFIA) was the crash in March. I simply picked 40 stocks to watch in the $3 to $5 range that had previously been trading around the $20 to $40 + mark and after a few weeks to a month I saw the best ten performing stocks percentage wise and invested almost every cent I had in those picks. Anyone could have done the same, ANYONE. I feel very fortunate to have made some really nice gains and am tempted to pull the plug on all my investments before the next BIG DROP that many annalists are predicting due to the over inflated dollar and national debt we are facing. If it does happen, I'll do it all over again but with more kegs of powder.
I hope all in DDR experience massive gains in the near future. Good Luck!

I do want to know how long they'll maintain the dividend payout in stocks.
Anyways, happy Summer to all, hope it's been a good one for ya!
