Copper Property CTL Pass Through Trust is a New York common law trust formed to own and manage retail and distribution properties previously operated by J. C. Penney Company, Inc. The Trust’s primary business activities involve owning 117 retail properties and managing their leasing operations under master lease agreements to a single tenant. It operates within the real estate sector, specifically focused on the ownership and liquidation of commercial retail assets across the United States and Puerto Rico.
The Trust generates revenue primarily through the collection of rental payments from its sole tenant, Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC, under the terms of the Master Leases. Additional revenue is generated from the sale of properties to third-party purchasers when market conditions and Trust Agreement provisions permit such transactions. The Trust does not engage in the development or operation of the properties beyond ownership and oversight of leasing and sales activities.

From a real estate sales perspective, the Trust competes with other retail property owners seeking to sell similar assets in comparable markets. Its ability to achieve favorable sale prices depends on factors such as property location, rental income potential, and suitability for prospective buyers’ operational needs. While the Trust does not identify specific competitors by name, it operates in a competitive landscape influenced by broader economic trends, availability of capital, and local real estate market conditions.
The Trust’s customer base consists of a single tenant, Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC, which leases all of the Trust’s properties under the Master Lease agreements. Penney Intermediate Holdings LLC is an entity formed by and under the control of a joint venture between Simon Property Group, L. P. and Brookfield Asset Management Inc. The Trust does not serve multiple tenants or diversify its customer base beyond this single lessee.
