Item 2.03

Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

New Credit Agreement

On March 5, 2008, we and our operating partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. (“RCLP”) as Borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement with the financial institutions party thereto, as Lenders, each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Regions Bank, as Documentation Agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Syndication Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Sole Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent. The Credit Agreement provides for a new credit facility in the amount of $341,500,000 for a term of 36 months, with the ability to increase the facility to an amount not to exceed $400,000,000. The facility is composed of a term loan facility in the amount of $227,666,667 and a revolving credit facility in the amount of $113,833,333.

Interest on loans accrues at a floating rate which will be, at RCLP’s option, either (1) LIBOR or (2) a base rate plus an applicable margin which is subject to adjustment based on the credit rating assigned to RCLP by the applicable rating agencies. Interest only is payable monthly, and principal is due at maturity. Voluntary prepayments are permitted at any time without premium or penalty upon proper notice, and mandatory prepayments are required to the extent the outstanding credit exceeds certain borrowing base limitations. There are no amortizing payments on the term loan.

The purpose of the Credit Agreement is to finance pre-developments costs, development costs, acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and general corporate purposes, equity investments, repayment of indebtedness, scheduled amortization payments on indebtedness and financing loans to subsidiaries, affiliates and unconsolidated affiliates for development activities.

The Credit Agreement includes financial covenants relating to minimum net worth, ratio of total liabilities to gross asset value, ratio of recourse secured indebtedness to gross asset value, and ratio of EBITDA to fixed charges. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default for facilities of this type (with customary grace periods, as applicable).

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Credit Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to our next applicable periodic report or registration statement.

First Amendment to Existing Credit Agreement

On March 5, 2008, we and RCLP, as Borrower, also entered into a First Amendment to our Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement originally dated February 9, 2007 with the financial institutions party thereto, as Lenders, each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., PNC Bank, National Association and SunTrust Bank, as Documentation Agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association as Syndication Agent, Regions Bank, as Managing Agent, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Sole Lead Arranger and Administrative Agent.

The First Amendment eliminated the financial covenant relating to unsecured interest expense coverage and made other changes in order to conform the terms of the existing credit facility to the new credit facility described above.

The above summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the First Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to our next applicable periodic report or registration statement.
