                                 January 5, 2005





This First Supplement dated January 5, 2005, amends and supplements the Regency Centers Corporation Offer to Exchange Reload Rights for New Options or Stock Rights Awards, dated December 10, 2004 (the "Offer to Exchange"), by amending and supplementing the disclosures in: 1. the Summary Term Sheet of the Offer to Exchange 2. Section 1 of the Offer to Exchange, entitled "Introduction" 3. Section 5 of the Offer to Exchange, entitled "Source and Amount of Consideration; Terms of New Options and Stock Award Rights" 4. Section 10 of the Offer to Exchange, entitled "Conditions of the Offer" 5. Section 12 of the Offer to Exchange, entitled "Interests of Directors and Executive Officers; Transactions and Arrangements Concerning Options or Stock Rights Awards" 6. Section 14 of the Offer to Exchange, entitled "Extension of Offer; Termination and Amendment," and 7. Section 16 of the Offer to Exchange, entitled "Financial Statements." You should read this First Supplement together with the Offer to Exchange. Summary Term Sheet - ------------------ The introductory paragraph and A1, A2 and A9 of the Summary Term Sheet section of the Offer to Exchange are each amended in their entirety to read as follows in order to clarify that (1) Summary Term Sheet contained in the Offer to Exchange describes the material terms of the offer, (2) option holders who participate in the exchange offer keep their existing options but for the reload feature, (3) reload options issued upon exercise of a reload option also contain a reload feature, and (4) explain the meaning of the term "nonqualified option.": "SUMMARY TERM SHEET The following are answers to some of the questions that you may have about this offer to exchange. You should carefully read (1) this entire offer to exchange, (2) the accompanying individualized letter specifying the estimated present value of your reload rights and (3) the election form. This offer is subject to the terms and conditions of these documents, as they may be amended. We have included in this summary references to other sections in this offering document to help you find a more complete description of these topics. Q1. What is the reload exchange program? A1. Regency is offering option holders with reload rights the choice, if you so elect, to exchange your reload rights for either additional stock options or a stock rights award. If you elect to participate in the reload exchange program, you will not forfeit any of your current options, however all of your options will be amended to remove the reload right feature. (See Section 1) 2

Q2. How does the reload feature of my options work? A2. The reload feature allows you to: o pay the exercise price of your stock options by delivering shares you have owned for at least six months, which we sometimes refer to as "mature shares," that have a market price equal to the exercise price, rather than by paying with cash; and o if the market price per share on the date you exercise your stock options is at least 20% more than the exercise price, receive a new option for the number of shares you used to pay the exercise price and applicable taxes. The new option has the same expiration date as the options you exercised, an exercise price equal to the then market price of the shares and a reload feature. (See Section 2) ... Q9. If I elect to participate in the offer and choose to receive new options, what will be the terms of the options? A9. If you elect to exchange your reload rights for new stock options, you will receive the number of new stock options which is equal to the estimated present value of the reload rights set forth in the individualized letter accompanying this offering document. However, if you exercise any of your outstanding options between the date of this offer and the date we accept your reload rights for exchange, the amount of new options you will receive in exchange for your reload rights will be adjusted appropriately. The new options will: o be nonqualified, therefore requiring you to recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes (and allowing us to take a corresponding deduction) upon exercise in the amount of the spread, i.e., the excess of the fair market value of our common stock on the date of exercise over the option exercise price. o have a ten year term, o vest 25% per year, o have an exercise price equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date of the issuance of the new options, and o not be eligible for dividend equivalent units (DEUs). (See Section 5)" 3

Introduction - ------------ In order to clarify that option holders who elect to participate in the exchange will forfeit the reload right feature of their existing options but otherwise will retain their existing options, Section 1 of the Exchange Offer, entitled "Introduction", is amended in its entirety to read as follows: "1. Introduction. We are offering all employees with outstanding options, with the exception of our CEO, COO and CFO, the option, if they so choose, to exchange all of their reload rights for either additional stock options or stock rights awards on the terms and conditions set forth in this offering document. Only reload rights will be forfeited. All employees participating in the exchange offer will keep their existing options." Source and Amount of Consideration; Terms of New Options and Stock Rights Awards - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In order to clarify that options issued upon exercise of a reload option also contain a reload feature, the table contained in the subsection entitled "Comparison of Terms of Reload Options, New Options and Stock Rights Awards" of Section 5 of the Exchange Offer, entitled "Source and Amount of Consideration; Terms of New Options and Stock Rights Awards" is amended in its entirety to read as follows: Reload Options New Options Stock Rights Awards -------------- ----------- ------------------- Term Same term as the option that Term of 10 years from the new See "Vesting" below ---- was "reloaded" option grant date, subject to earlier termination after termination of employment (90 days), death or disability (1 year), retirement (3 years), or termination for cause (immediate termination) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Exercise Price Exercise price equal to the Exercise price equal to the closing N/A -------------- closing price of our common price of our common stock on the stock on the last trading day last trading day before the new before the reload option grant option grant date date (the grant date will be Monday, January 17, 2005, unless we extend the offer) - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Vesting 100% vested on the date of Vest 25% per year subject to Vest 25% per year subject to ------- issuance continued service with Regency, continued service with Regency, 100% if terminated on 100% if terminated on death, death, disability or disability or retirement or if retirement or if terminated without cause within 24 terminated without cause months after a change of control within 24 months after a change of control - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4

Reload Options New Options Stock Rights Awards -------------- ----------- ------------------- Reload Feature Yes, all new options issued No N/A -------------- upon exercise of a reload option also contain a reload feature - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eligible to Earn To the same extent as the No Yes, during vesting period, equal to - ----------------- option that was reloaded dividends that would have been paid DEUs? had the shares been issued, deemed ---- reinvested in unvested shares each December 31 prior to vesting of the related shares - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dispute Resolution - ------------------ In order to clarify that the binding arbitration requirement only pertains to disputes arising out of or relating to an award agreement and that the one year statute of limitations does not apply to claims arising under the federal securities laws, the subsection entitled "Dispute Resolution" of Section 5 of the Exchange Offer, entitled "Source and Amount of Consideration; Terms of New Options and Stock Rights Awards" is amended in its entirety to read as follows: "Dispute Resolution. Disputes, controversies or claims between Regency and the holder of the new options or stock rights award arising out of or relating to an award agreement will be settled by binding arbitration conducted in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition, arbitration must be initiated within one year after the complaining party first knew of should have known of the facts giving rise to the complaint. These provisions are identical to mandatory arbitration provisions in many award agreements for existing stock options. Claims under federal securities laws may not be subject to mandatory arbitration within such one-year period, as the courts and the Securities and Exchange Commission may deem the attempt to limit judicial remedies to be against public policy and therefore unenforceable." Conditions of the Offer - ----------------------- In order to clarify the circumstances upon which Regency would experience an accounting charge in excess of $6.8 million and therefore would have the right to terminate the offer, the fourth bullet in Section 10 of the Offer to Exchange, entitled "Conditions of the Offer", is amended in its entirety to read as follows: "the consummation of the offer will result in an accounting charge to Regency in excess of $6.8 million, which will depend on the estimated present value of the reload rights exchanged for new awards and our stock price on the date that we grant the new awards. The accounting charge will increase as more reload rights are exchanged and if our stock price increases between now and the date that we grant the new awards. The accounting charge would be more than $6.8 million if all holders of reload rights as of January 5, 2005 elect to 5

participate in the exchange, and (2) our stock price is at least $58 per share on the date that we grant the new awards." Interests of Directors and Executive Officers - --------------------------------------------- Regency executive officers have engaged in transactions involving options with reload rights to purchase our common stock since the date the Offer to Exchange was filed. The following table sets forth the beneficial ownership of each of our executive officers and directors of options with reload rights as of December 31, 2004.

Selected Financial Data - ----------------------- The following table supplements the information contained in Section 16 of the Exchange Offer, entitled "Financial Statements" and sets forth our selected consolidated financial data on a historical basis for the five years ended December 31, 2003 and the nine months ended September 30, 2004 and 2003. This information should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements (including the related notes thereto) and management's discussion and analysis of financial conditions and results of operations, each contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2003.
