Item 8.01 Other Events

Deer Park

Tanger Properties Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), the operating partnership of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (together with the Operating Partnership, the "Company"), has a one-third interest in a joint venture established to develop, own and operate a shopping center in Deer Park, New York (“Deer Park”). On December 22, 2011, Deer Park closed on the refinancing of the construction mortgage and mezzanine loans to the joint venture. These loans matured on May 17, 2011 with an aggregate principal amount outstanding totaling $266.9 million, and Deer Park was given notices of default on behalf of various lenders. At the closing, Deer Park made a paydown of $20.0 million on the principal amount of the construction mortgage bringing the new balance outstanding to $231.9 million. The principal balance on the mezzanine loan remained at $15.0 million. The new interest rates for the construction mortgage and mezzanine loan are LIBOR plus 3.50% and LIBOR plus 5.00%, respectively. Each of the three partners made an equity contribution to Deer Park prior to closing of $6.4 million. The $20.0 million paydown was made from a combination of these three contributions totaling $19.2 million and cash available within the Deer Park joint venture. The maturity date of both the construction mortgage and the mezzanine loan is May 17, 2014. Subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, the maturity date may be be extended to May 17, 2015. The principal amount of the loans are generally non-recourse to the Company. The Company and its two joint venture partners have each, jointly and severally, provided limited customary guarantees, including the guarantee of the payment of interest (but not principal) on the loans.
