Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On July 1, 2018 (the “Spin Off Date”), DDR Corp. (the “Company”) and Retail Value Inc. (“RVI”) completed the previously announced spin off of RVI (the “Spin Off”). RVI holds 48 assets, made up of 36 continental U.S. assets and 12 assets in Puerto Rico. These assets are comprised of retail shopping centers located in 17 states and Puerto Rico. RVI is now an independent public company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) under the symbol “RVI.”

RVI filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange Commission that was declared effective on June 22, 2018 (the “Registration Statement”). RVI’s Information Statement (the “Information Statement”), which was filed as Exhibit 99.1 to the Registration Statement, describes for holders of DDR common shares (the “Holders”) the details of the Spin Off. The Information Statement was mailed to Holders on or about June 28, 2018.

Spin Agreements

On July 1, 2018, the Company and RVI entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”), to effect the Spin Off and provide a framework for certain aspects of the Company’s relationship with RVI after the Spin Off. Pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, among other things, the Company agreed to transfer certain assets, liabilities and obligations to RVI and to distribute 100% of the outstanding common shares of RVI, par value $0.10 (the “Common Shares”), to Holders of record as of the close of business on June 26, 2018. On the Spin Off Date, each Holder received one Common Share for every ten DDR common shares held by such Holders. Following the Spin Off, the Company will continue to hold series A preferred shares, the terms of which are summarized in the section entitled “Description of Preferred Shares-Series A Preferred Shares” of the Information Statement, which section is incorporated herein by reference.

The Separation and Distribution Agreement and the External Management Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2018, by and between DDR Asset Management LLC and RVI, will primarily govern the relationship between the Company and RVI. Summaries of each of these agreements are provided in the sections entitled “The Company’s Separation from DDR,” “The Company’s Manager and the Management Agreements” and “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” of the Information Statement, which sections are incorporated by reference herein. Such summaries are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibits 2.1 and 10.1.
