As previously disclosed, Regency acquired shares of AmREIT, Inc. (”AmREIT”) common stock for a total investment of $14.3 million. Subsequent to AmREIT’s announcement on October 31, 2014 that it had entered into a definitive agreement to be acquired by Edens Investment Trust, Regency liquidated its equity position in AmREIT, which, after associated pursuit costs, resulted in a net gain of approximately $6.0 million. The Company has reflected this gain in its update to full year 2014 FFO guidance. Due to the one-time nature of this transaction, the net gain is not included in the Company’s update to full year 2014 Core FFO guidance.
