Item 4. |
Indemnification of Directors and Officers. |
The
Florida Business Corporation Act (the Florida Act) permits a Florida
corporation to indemnify a present or former director or officer of the corporation (and
certain other persons serving at the request of the corporation in related capacities) for
liabilities, including legal expenses, arising by reason of service in such capacity if
such person shall have acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in
or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and in any criminal proceeding if
such person had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. However, in the
case of actions brought by or in the right of the corporation, no indemnification may be
made with respect to any matter as to which such director or officer shall have been
adjudged liable, except in certain limited circumstances.
The
Companys Bylaws provide that the registrant shall indemnify directors and executive
officers to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by the Florida Act. In addition,
the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive
officers in which it has agreed to indemnify such persons to the fullest extent now or
hereafter permitted by the Florida Act.

Item 5. |
Exemption from Registration Claimed. |
The
exhibits filed herewith or incorporated herein by reference are set forth in the attached
Exhibit Index.
The
undersigned registrant has submitted the Regency Centers (401k) Profit Sharing Plan as
amended, to the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) in a timely manner and has made
and will make all changes required by the IRS in order to qualify such plan under Section
401 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The
undersigned hereby undertakes:
(1) To
file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a
post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include any material
information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the
registration statement.
(2) That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each
such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide
offering thereof.
(3) To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the
securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the
offering.
(4) That,
for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing
of the registrants annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act (and each filing of the Regency Centers 401(k) Profit
Sharing Plans annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be
the initial bona fide offering thereof.
4
Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the registrant or otherwise, the registrant has been advised
that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is
against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.
In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by the director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such
issue.

Determination
of top-heavy status. |

Key
employee. Key employee means any employee or former employee (including any deceased
employee) who at any time during the plan year that includes the determination date was

the determination date shall be increased by the distributions made with
respect to the employee under the plan and any plan aggregated with the
plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the 1-year period ending
on the determination date. The preceding sentence shall also apply to
distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated,
would have been aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of
the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than
separation from service, death, or disability, this provision shall be
applied by substituting 5-year period for 1-year period. |
|

Employees
not performing services during year ending on the determination date.
The accrued benefits and accounts of any individual who has not performed
services for the employer during the 1-year period ending on the

and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code. |
10.3.2 |
Contributions
under other plans. The employer may provide, in an addendum to this amendment, that
the minimum benefit requirement shall be met in another plan (including another plan that

of Section 401(m)(11) of the Code are met). The addendum should include the name of the
other plan, the minimum benefit that will be provided under such other plan, and the
employees who will receive the minimum benefit under such other plan. |

Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or
instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state and which agrees to
separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this plan. The definition
of eligible retirement plan shall also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving
spouse, or to a spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified
domestic relation order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code. |

of definition of eligible rollover distribution to exclude hardship distributions.

eligible retirement plan. |
5
11.4 |
Modification
of definition of eligible rollover distribution to include after-tax employee contributions.
For purposes of the direct rollover provisions in the plan, a portion of a distribution
shall not fail to be an eligible rollover distribution merely because the portion
consists of after-tax employee contributions which are not includible in gross income.
However, such portion may be transferred only to an individual retirement account or
annuity described in Section 408(a) or (b) of the Code, or to a qualified defined
contribution plan described in Section 401(a) or 403(a) of the Code that agrees to
separately account for amounts so transferred, including separately accounting for the
portion of such distribution which is includible in gross income and the portion of such
distribution which is not so includible. |

ARTICLE VI
REQUIRED MINIMUM
DISTRIBUTIONS
6.1.1 |
Effective
Date. Unless a later effective date is specified in Section 2.3.a of this amendment,
the provisions of this amendment will apply for purposes of determining required minimum
distributions for calendar years beginning with the 2002 calendar year. |
3
6.1.2 |
Coordination
with Minimum Distribution Requirements Previously in Effect. If the effective date of
this amendment is earlier than calendar years beginning with the 2003 calendar year,
required minimum distributions for 2002 under this amendment will be determined as
follows. If the total amount of 2002 required minimum distributions under the Plan made
to the distributee prior to the effective date of this amendment equals or exceeds the
required minimum distributions determined under this amendment, then no additional
distributions will be required to be made for 2002 on or after such date to the
distributee. If the total amount of 2002 required minimum distributions under the Plan
made to the distributee prior to the effective date of this amendment is less than the
amount determined under this amendment, then required minimum distributions for 2002 on
and after such date will be determined so that the total amount of required minimum
distributions for 2002 made to the distributee will be the amount determined under this
amendment. |
6.1.3 |
Precedence.
The requirements of this amendment will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions
of the Plan. |
6.1.4 |
Requirements
of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this amendment
will be determined and made in accordance with the Treasury regulations under Section
401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code. |
6.1.5 |
TEFRA
Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this amendment,
distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance
with Section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the
provisions of the Plan that relate to Section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA. |
6.2 |
TIME
AND MANNER OF DISTRIBUTION |
6.2.1 |
Required
Beginning Date. The Participant's entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be
distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant's required
beginning date. |
6.2.2 |
Death
of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before
distributions begin, the Participants entire interest will be distributed, or begin
to be distributed, no later than as follows: |
|
(a)
If the Participants surviving spouse is the Participants sole
designated beneficiary, then, except as provided in Article VI, distributions
to the surviving spouse will begin by December 31 of the calendar year
immediately following the calendar year in which the Participant died, or by
December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant would have attained
age 70 1/2, if later. |
|
(b)
If the Participants surviving spouse is not the Participants sole
designated beneficiary, then, except as provided in Section 2.3 of this
amendment, distributions to the designated beneficiary will begin by December 31
of the calendar year immediately following the calendar year in which the
Participant died. |
|
(c)
If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following
the year of the Participants death, the Participants entire
interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the
fifth anniversary of the Participants death. |
|
(d)
If the Participants surviving spouse is the Participants sole
designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but
before distributions to the surviving spouse begin, this Section 6.2.2, other
than Section 6.2.2(a), will apply as if the surviving spouse were the
Participant. |
|
For
purposes of this Section 6.2.2 and Section 2.3, unless Section 6.2.2(d) applies,
distributions are considered to begin on the Participants required beginning date.
If Section 6.2.2(d) applies, distributions are considered to begin on the date
distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under Section 6.2.2(a). If
distributions under an annuity purchased from an insurance company irrevocably commence
to the Participant before the Participants required beginning date (or to the
Participants surviving spouse before the date distributions are required to begin
to the surviving spouse under Section 6.2.2(a)), the date distributions are considered to
begin is the date distributions actually commence. |
4
6.2.3 |
Forms
of Distribution. Unless the Participants interest is distributed in the form of
an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the
required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be
made in accordance with Sections 6.3 and 6.4 of this amendment. If the Participants
interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company,
distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of Section
401(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations. |
6.3 |
REQUIRED
MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS DURING PARTICIPANTS LIFETIME |
6.3.1 |
Amount
of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the
Participants lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
distribution calendar year is the lesser of: |
|
(a)
the quotient obtained by dividing the Participants account balance by the
distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in Section
1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participants age as
of the Participants birthday in the distribution calendar year; or |
|
(b)
if the Participants
sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the
Participants spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participants
account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in
Section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participants
and spouses attained ages as of the Participants and spouses
birthdays in the distribution calendar year. |
6.3.2 |
Lifetime
Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participants Death.
Required minimum distributions will be determined under this Section 6.3 beginning with
the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar
year that includes the Participants date of death. |
6.4 |
REQUIRED
MINIMUM DISTRIBUTIONS AFTER PARTICIPANTS DEATH |
6.4.1 |
Death
On or After Date Distributions Begin. |
|
(a)
Participant Survived by Designated
Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions
begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be
distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the
Participants death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participants
account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the
Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participants
designated beneficiary, determined as follows: |
|
(1)
The Participants remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of
the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. |
|
(2)
If the Participants
surviving spouse is the Participants sole designated beneficiary, the
remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each
distribution calendar year after the year of the Participants death using
the surviving spouses age as of the spouses birthday in that year.
For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouses
death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated
using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouses birthday in the
calendar year of the spouses death, reduced by one for each subsequent
calendar year. |
|
(3)
If the Participants
surviving spouse is not the Participants sole designated beneficiary, the
designated beneficiarys remaining life expectancy is calculated using the
age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participants
death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. |
|
(b)
No Designated Beneficiary. If the
Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no
designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the
Participants death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each
distribution calendar year after the year of the Participants death is
the quotient obtained by dividing the Participants account balance by the
Participants remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the
Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year. |
5
6.4.2 |
Death
Before Date Distributions Begin. |
|
(a)
Participant Survived by Designated
Beneficiary. Except as provided in Section 2.3, if the Participant dies
before the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the
minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year
after the year of the Participants death is the quotient obtained by
dividing the Participants account balance by the remaining life
expectancy of the Participants designated beneficiary, determined as
provided in Section 6.4.1. |
|
(b)
No Designated Beneficiary. If the
Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated
beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participants
death, distribution of the Participants entire interest will be completed
by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
Participants death. |
|
(c)
Death of Surviving Spouse Before
Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant
dies before the date distributions begin, the Participants surviving
spouse is the Participants sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving
spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse
under Section 6.2.2(a), this Section 6.4.2 will apply as if the surviving
spouse were the Participant. |
6.5.1 |
Designated
beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under the Plan and
is the designated beneficiary under Section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and
Section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations. |
6.5.2 |
Distribution
calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For
distributions beginning before the Participants death, the first distribution
calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains
the Participants required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the
Participants death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in
which distributions are required to begin under Section 6.2.2. The required minimum
distribution for the Participants first distribution calendar year will be made on
or before the Participants required beginning date. The required minimum
distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum
distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the Participants required
beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution
calendar year. |
6.5.3 |
Life
expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in Section
1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations. |
6.5.4 |
Participants
account balance. The account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar
year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year)
increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated
to the account balance as of the dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation
date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the
valuation date. The account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts
rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the
distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year. |
6.5.5 |
Required
beginning date. The date specified in the Plan when distributions under Section
401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code are required to begin. |
ARTICLE VII
DEEMED 125
COMPENSATION
If elected, this Article shall apply
as of the effective date specified in Section 2.4 of this amendment. For purposes of any
definition of compensation under this Plan that includes a reference to amounts under
Section 125 of the Code, amounts under Section 125 of the Code include any amounts not
available to a Participant in cash in lieu of group health coverage because the
Participant is unable to certify that he or she has other health coverage. An amount will
be treated as an amount under Section 125 of the Code only if the Employer does not
request or collect information regarding the Participants other health coverage as
part of the enrollment process for the health plan.

4. |
Effective
January 1, 2007, the Employer amends the Plan as follows: |
DIRECT ROLLOVER OF
NON-SPOUSAL DISTRIBUTION
|
(a) |
Non-spouse
beneficiary rollover right. For distributions made after December 31,
2006, a non-spouse beneficiary who is a designated beneficiary under
Code §401(a)(9)(E) and the regulations thereunder, by a direct
trustee-to-trustee transfer (direct rollover), may roll over
all or any portion of his/her distribution to an individual retirement
account the beneficiary establishes for purposes of receiving the
distribution. In order to be able to roll over the distribution, the
distribution otherwise must satisfy the definition of an eligible rollover
distribution. |
|
(b) |
Certain
requirements not applicable. Although a non-spouse beneficiary may
roll over directly a distribution as provided in Section (a) above, the
distribution is not subject to the direct rollover requirements of Code
§401(a)(31), the notice requirements of Code §402(f) or the
mandatory withholding requirements of Code §3405(c). If a non-spouse
beneficiary receives a distribution from the Plan, the distribution is not
eligible for a 60-day rollover. |
|
(c) |
Trust
beneficiary. If the participants named beneficiary is a trust,
the Plan may make a direct rollover to an individual retirement account on
behalf of the trust, provided the trust satisfies the requirements to be a
designated beneficiary within the meaning of Code §401(a)(9)(E). |
|
(d) |
Required
minimum distributions not eligible for rollover. A non-spouse
beneficiary may not roll over an amount which is a required minimum
distribution, as determined under applicable Treasury regulations and
other Revenue Service guidance. If the participant dies before his/her
required beginning date and the non-spouse beneficiary rolls over to an
IRA the maximum amount eligible for rollover, the beneficiary may elect to
use either the 5-year rule or the life expectancy rule, pursuant to Treas.
Reg. §1.401(a)(9)-3, A-4(c), in determining the required minimum
distributions from the IRA that receives the non-spouse beneficiarys
distribution. |
|
(e) |
Superseding
of inconsistent provisions. Section (a) through (d) above supersedes
the provisions of the Plan to the extent those provisions are inconsistent
with the provisions of said sections. |
5. |
Effective January 1, 2004, the Employer confirms that the Plan uses the
prior year method for purposes of nondiscrimination testing and has
done so consistently since 2002. |
