Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

        On July 31, 2007, the board of directors of Regency Centers Corporation approved the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation, which became effective upon filing with the Florida Department of State on August 27, 2007. None of the changes adversely affect the rights or preferences of the holders of outstanding shares of any class or series, and accordingly, stockholder approval was not required.

        The Restated Articles of Incorporation were adopted by the board of directors to:

        (i)  incorporate previously filed amendments as part of a single restated document;


        (ii)  cancel the designation of the following series of preferred stock, no shares of which have ever been issued and with respect to which the corporation’s obligation to issue shares has terminated:


  8.75% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock;
9.0% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock;
8.75% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock; and
8.75% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock;

        (iii)  delete references to the 8.75% Series B, 9.0% Series C, 8.75% Series E and 8.75% Series F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock from the definition of Parity Preferred Stock; and


        (iv)  omit other items of historical interest only.
