Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.

On June 30, 2022, Retail Value Inc. (the “Company”) filed a certificate of dissolution (the “Certificate of Dissolution”) with the Secretary of State of the State of Ohio. The Certificate of Dissolution provides for the dissolution of the Company under the Ohio Revised Code. Pursuant to the Ohio Revised Code, the Company will continue to exist for a period of five years following the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution for the purpose of paying, satisfying and discharging any unknown or contingent claims or any debts or other obligations, collecting and distributing its assets, and doing all other acts required to liquidate and wind-up its business and affairs.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

In connection with the filing of the Certificate of Dissolution, the Company’s independent directors, Gary N. Boston, Henrie W. Koetter and Scott D. Roulston, resigned from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) on July 1, 2022 and the Board reduced its size to three. In order to fill the remaining vacancy, on July 1, 2022, the Board elected Conor M. Fennerty, currently the Company’s Executive Vice President, as a director. The Board also appointed David R. Lukes, currently a director and the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, as Chairman of the Board and appointed Mr. Fennerty as a member of the Audit Committee. The Board now consists exclusively of management directors, namely Messrs. Lukes and Fennerty and Christa A. Vesy. The transition to a Board comprised exclusively of management directors was designed to curtail expenses after the delisting of the Company’s common shares from the New York Stock Exchange and to recognize the substantial completion of the Company’s original strategy.
