Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance
Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On March 10, 2006, Regency Centers Corporation entered into forward starting swap transactions having notional amounts totaling $396.7 million to hedge $200 million ten-year fixed rate financing expected to occur in 2010 and $200 million ten-year fixed rate financing expected to occur in 2011.

For the expected 2010 financing, Regency locked an underlying 10-year treasury rate of 4.771% and a 10-year swap spread of 0.54%. With the forward carry cost and fees, the swap fixed rate is 5.3992%. Adding Regency’s current expected credit spread, the final effective rate is expected to be approximately 6.0%.

For the expected 2011 financing, Regency locked an underlying 10-year treasury rate of 4.774% and a 10-year swap spread of 0.54%. With the forward carry cost and fees, the swap fixed rate is 5.415%. Adding Regency’s current expected credit spread, the final effective rate is expected to be approximately 6.0%.

The swap agreements will be settled in cash on dates selected by Regency no later than December 15, 2010 and September 1, 2011, respectively. If the 10-year treasury rate at the time of settlement is higher than the locked rate, the counterparty will make a cash payment to Regency. If the 10-year treasury rate at the time of settlement is lower than the locked rate, Regency will be required to make a cash payment to the counterparty.
