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

On May 3, 2011, the shareholders of Regency Centers Corporation (the “Company”) approved the adoption of the Regency Centers Corporation 2011 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). The purpose of the Omnibus Plan is to attract, retain and motivate participating employees and to attract and retain well-qualified individuals to serve as members of the board of directors, consultants and advisors through the use of incentives based upon the value of the Company’s common stock. Awards under the Omnibus Plan may consist of incentive awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, performance units, shares of common stock, restricted stock, restricted stock units or other stock-based awards as determined by the administrator of the Omnibus Plan.

The Omnibus Plan provides that an aggregate maximum of 4,134,465 shares of the Company’s common stock are reserved for issuance under the Omnibus Plan, subject to adjustment for certain corporate events. This number is comprised of 3,000,000 new shares plus 1,134,465 shares that are subject to awards (determined at target) outstanding under the Company’s stock option plan existing prior to the adoption of the Omnibus Plan. The 1,134,465 shares carried over from the prior plan will only be available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan to the extent that the awards expire or are terminated without the issuance of shares, or the shares issued under the prior plan are forfeited. If none of the awards outstanding under the prior plan are forfeited, then a maximum aggregate of only 3,000,000 shares may be issued pursuant to awards made under the Omnibus Plan.

The Omnibus Plan was filed as Annex A to the Company’s definitive proxy statement and the terms thereof are incorporated herein by reference.
