On December 19, 2023, S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed Citycon's investment grade rating (BBB-) and kept its Stable outlook unchanged citing Citycon's sound operating performance to continue over the next 24 months due to positive indexation and robust occupancy rates.  S&P noted they expect to see Citycon's credit metrics remaining within their rating thresholds and that Citycon's liquidity and funding position remains solid, with expected asset disposals to improve weighted average debt maturity over the coming months.

'We appreciate the continued recognition from S&P for the steps we have taken to solidify and improve our balance sheet and our continued strong business fundamentals', said Bret D. McLeod, Chief Financial Officer.  'We continue to anticipate continued progress in 2024 as we remain committed to maintaining our investment grade rating'.
