On September 30, 2010, Regency Centers, L.P. (“RCLP”) entered into an Underwriting Agreement between RCLP and Regency Centers Corporation, the general partner of RCLP (“Regency”) on the one hand, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC as representatives of the several underwriters named therein (the “Underwriters”) on the other hand (the “Underwriting Agreement”) pursuant to which RCLP agreed to issue, and the Underwriters agreed to purchase, $250 million aggregate principal amount of RCLP’s 4.80% Notes due April 15, 2021 (the “Notes”) priced at 99.860%. The Notes are guaranteed as to the payment of principal and interest by Regency. The offering of the Notes is expected to close on October 7, 2010.

RCLP will use the proceeds from the offering of the Notes:

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.80% per annum and mature on April 15, 2021. Interest on the Notes will be payable semi-annually in arrears on April 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on April 15, 2011, to holders of record at the close of business on the April 1 or October 1, respectively, immediately preceding such interest payment date.

The Notes were issued pursuant to the terms of an Indenture dated as of December 5, 2001, as supplemented by a First Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 5, 2007 and a Second Supplemental Indenture dated as of June 2, 2010, among RCLP, Regency, as guarantor, and U.S. Bank, National Association, as successor to Wachovia Bank, National Association (formerly known as First Union National Bank), as trustee. The Indenture, together with all supplements and amendments thereto is referred to as the “Indenture”.

The Indenture contains certain financial covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of RCLP and that of its subsidiaries to: (i) incur additional secured and unsecured debt; (ii) create liens on assets; or (iii) engage in certain business combinations. RCLP may, at its option, redeem some or all of the Notes at any time on not less than 30 and not more than 60 days’ prior written notice mailed to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed. The Notes will be redeemable at a price equal to the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed, plus accrued but unpaid interest on the portions being redeemed, plus a “make-whole” amount calculated under the Indenture. If the Notes are redeemed on or after January 15, 2021, the redemption price will not include the make-whole amount.

The Indenture provides for customary events of default, including, among other things, nonpayment, failure to comply with the other agreements in the Indenture within certain specified periods of time, and events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization.

RCLP made customary representations and warranties in the Underwriting Agreement and further agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
