value of such reload rights were calculated using a binomial option pricing

This Amendment No. 2 amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 10, 2004, as amended by Amendment No.1 filed on January 5, 2005, by Regency Centers Corporation, a Florida corporation ("Regency"), relating to an offer by Regency to its current employees to exchange (the "Offer to Exchange") the reload feature on their unexercised options (the "Reload Rights") to purchase Regency common stock (the "Common Stock") (whether vested or unvested) that were issued under Regency's Long Term Omnibus Plan, as amended (the "Omnibus Plan"), for either (1) newly issued options to purchase Common Stock pursuant to the Omnibus Plan (the "New Options") or (2) a newly issued stock rights award issued pursuant to the Omnibus Plan (the "Stock Rights Awards") that will represent the right to receive shares of Common Stock upon vesting, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Exchange, the related individualized spreadsheet and election forms previously filed as an exhibit to the Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(2), (a)(3) and (a)(4). Except as amended hereby, all of the terms of the offer and all disclosures set forth in the Schedule TO and the Offer to Exchange remain unchanged. Item 2. Subject Company Information Item 2(b) is hereby amended as follows: The last paragraph set forth under the caption "Dispute Resolution" in the First Supplement to the Offer to Exchange Reload Rights for New Options or Stock Rights Awards, dated January 5, 2005, which was filed as Exhibit (a)(6) to Amendment No. 1 to this Tender Offer Statement, is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows: "Claims under federal securities laws may not be subject to mandatory arbitration, as the Securities and Exchange Commission deems the attempt to limit judicial remedies to be against public policy and therefore unenforceable." 3
