FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Equity One Announces Closing of Joint Venture with Capital Shopping Centres Group PLC
NORTH MIAMI BEACH, FL, January 4, 2011 Equity One, Inc. (NYSE:EQY), an owner, developer, and
operator of shopping centers, announced today the closing of its acquisition of Capital and
Counties USA, Inc. (C&C USA) through a joint venture with Capital Shopping Centres Group PLC
(Capital Shopping Centres).
Capital Shopping Centres will receive 4.1 million shares of Equity One common stock and 11.4
million joint venture units, after accounting for working capital adjustments. Capital Shopping
Centres may redeem its units in the joint venture for Equity One common stock on a one-for-one
basis, or cash, at Equity Ones option. Equity One will assume approximately $243 million of
mortgage debt, including its proportionate share of debt held by joint ventures and following the
repayment of an $84 million mortgage secured by Serramonte Center which occurred simultaneously
with the closing of this transaction.
In December 2010, C&C USA sold two non-core properties consisting of South Figueroa, a vacant land
parcel in Los Angeles, and 625 Third Street, an office building in San Francisco, for net proceeds
of approximately $16.9 million.
The closing of this transaction is a great accomplishment for our company as it represents further
progress on our strategic plan to enter the densely populated and supply constrained markets of
California, said Jeff Olson, CEO of Equity One. This transaction diversifies our tenant base and
expands our redevelopment pipeline as Northern California becomes our second largest market after
South Florida. We are excited about the value creation opportunities that exist within the retail
portfolio and are actively working on disposing of non-core assets.

FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS
Certain matters discussed by Equity One in this press release constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although Equity One believes that the
expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it
can give no assurance that these expectations will be achieved. Factors that could cause actual
results to differ materially from current expectations include the failure of pending acquisitions
and dispositions, if any, to be consummated; changes in the capital markets; changes in
macro-economic conditions and the demand for retail space in the states in which Equity One owns
properties; the continuing financial success of Equity Ones current and prospective tenants;
continuing supply constraints in its geographic markets; the availability of properties for
acquisition; the impact of acquisitions and dispositions of real estate properties and of joint
venture interests on its operating results including expenses incurred by Equity One in connection
with its acquisition and disposition activity; the success of its efforts to lease up vacant space;
the effects of natural and other disasters; impairment charges; the ability of Equity One to
successfully integrate the operations and systems of acquired companies and properties; and other
risks, which are described in Equity Ones filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
