Cyndi M. Holt
Management
Good morning. This is Cyndi Holt, Vice President, Finance and Investor Relations. And now I’d like to welcome you to Tanger Factory Outlet Centers Second Quarter 2013 Conference Call. Yesterday we issued this quarters earnings release as well as our supplemental information package and investor presentation. This information is available on our website under the investor relations tab. Please note that during this conference call some of management comments will be forward-looking statements, including statements regarding the company’s property operation, leasing, tenant sales trends, development, acquisition and expansion activity, as well as their comments regarding the company’s funds from operations, funds available for distribution and dividends. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and actual results could differ materially from those projected due to factors including, but not limited to changes in economic and real estate conditions, the availability in cost of capital, the company’s ongoing ability to lease, develop and acquire properties, as well as potential tenant bankruptcies and competition. We direct you to the company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission for a detailed discussion of these risks and uncertainties. During the call, we will also discuss non-GAAP financial measures as defined by SEC Regulation G. Reconsolidations of these non-GAAP measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures are included in our earnings release and in our supplemental information. This call is being recorded for rebroadcast for a period of time in the future, as such it is important to note that management’s comments include time sensitive information that maybe accurate only as of today’s date July 31, 2013. At this time, all participants are in listen-only mode. Following managements prepared comments, the call will be opened up for your question. We ask that you limit your questions to two so that all callers will have the opportunity to ask questions. On the call today will be Steven Tanger, President and Chief Executive Officer; and Frank Marchisello, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. I will now turn the call over to Steven Tanger. Please go ahead Steve.
