Summary of Capital Expenditures. The following table summarizes total capital expenditures on consolidated properties on a cash basis (in millions): 2025 2024 2023 NewDevelopments........................................................ $ 22 $ 75 $ 156 RedevelopmentsandExpansions............................................. 417 321 328 TenantAllowances ........................................................ 242 191 209 OperationalCapitalExpenditures............................................. 253 169 100 Total ................................................................... $ 934 $ 756 $ 793 International Development Activity We typically reinvest net cash flow from our international joint ventures to fund future international development activity. We believe this strategy mitigates some of the risk of our initial investment and our exposure to changes in foreign currencies. We have also funded most of our foreign investments with local currency-denominated borrowings that act as a natural hedge against fluctuations in exchange rates. Our consolidated net income exposure to changes in the volatility of the Euro, Yen, Peso, Won, and other foreign currencies is not material. We expect our share of estimated committed capital for international development projects to be completed with projected delivery in 2026 or 2027 is $4 million, primarily funded through reinvested joint venture cash flow and construction loans.

Dividends, Distributions and Stock Repurchase Program Simon paid a common stock dividend of $2.20 per share in the fourth quarter of 2025 and $8.55 per share for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Operating Partnership paid distributions per unit for the same amounts. In 2024, Simon paid dividends of $2.10 and $8.10 per share for the three and twelve month periods ended December 31, 2024, respectively. The Operating Partnership paid distributions per unit for the same amounts. On February 2, 2026, Simon’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend for the first quarter of 2026 of $2.20 per share, payable on March 31, 2026 to shareholders of record on March 10, 2026. The distribution rate on units is equal to the dividend rate on common stock. In order to maintain its status as a REIT, Simon must pay a minimum amount of dividends. Simon’s future dividends and the Operating Partnership’s future distributions will be determined by Simon’s Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, based on actual and projected financial condition, liquidity and results of operations, cash available for dividends and limited partner distributions, cash reserves as deemed necessary for capital and operating expenditures, financing covenants, if any, and the amount required to maintain Simon’s status as a REIT. On February 8, 2024, Simon’s Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program under which Simon was permitted to purchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock during the two-year period commencing February 8, 2024 and ending on February 15, 2026 in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant. During the year ended December 31, 2025, Simon purchased 1,246,190 shares at an average price of $182.02 per share. During the year ended December 31, 2024, no shares were repurchased under this plan. On February 5, 2026, Simon’s Board of Directors authorized a new common stock repurchase program, which immediately replaced the existing repurchase plan. Under the plan, Simon may purchase up to $2.0 billion of its common stock during the period ending on February 29, 2028 in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions as market conditions warrant. As Simon repurchases shares under these programs, the Operating Partnership repurchases an equal number of units from Simon.
