Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On January 31, 2006, the board of directors of Regency Centers Corporation amended Regency’s Long Term Omnibus Plan to incorporate an anniversary stock grant program previously made under a separate stock grant plan that had never been approved by shareholders. Regency’s shareholder approved the Long Term Omnibus Plan at their 2003 annual meeting. Under the anniversary stock grant feature, non-key employees who work at least 1,000 hours per year but are not eligible to receive equity incentive awards under any Regency plan will receive $500 of Regency common stock when they have been continuously employed by Regency for one year, five years, ten years and in five-year increments thereafter. The separate stock grant plan has been terminated.
A copy of the amendment to the Long-Term Omnibus Plan will be filed as an exhibit to our next applicable periodic report or registration statement.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year
On January 31, 2006, Regency’s board of directors adopted an amendment to Section 4.1 of Regency’s bylaws changing the manner of fixing the number of directors. The amendment requires shareholder approval in order to increase or decrease the size of the board by more than one director.
A copy of the Bylaw amendment will be filed as an exhibit to our next applicable periodic report or registration statement.
