Partners' Equity of the Operating Partnership

All units of partnership interest issued by the Operating Partnership have equal rights with respect to earnings, dividends and net assets. When the Company issues common shares upon the exercise of options, the grant of restricted common share awards, or the exchange of Class A common limited partnership units, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding Class B common limited partnership unit to Tanger LP trust, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Likewise, when the Company repurchases its common shares, the Operating Partnership repurchases an equivalent number of Class B common limited partnership units held by Tanger LP Trust.
