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. (“RVI”) to holders of DDR common shares. 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. Following the distribution date, RVI will be an independent, publicly traded company managed by one or more subsidiaries of DDR. RVI expects to receive approval prior to the distribution date to list its common shares on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the ticker symbol “RVI.”

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.

The completion of the spin-off is subject to certain conditions including, without limitation, the SEC declaring RVI's Form 10 effective.
