EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2022, of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Regency Centers Corporation" or the "Parent Company" mean Regency Centers Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to "Regency Centers, L.P." or the "Operating Partnership" mean Regency Centers, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The term "the Company", "Regency Centers" or "Regency" means the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units ("Units"). As of June 30, 2022, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.6% of the Units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining limited Units are owned by third party investors. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management.

The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

 

Enhances investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and
Creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Parent Company and employees of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes it is important to understand the key differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. Except for $200 million of unsecured private placement debt, the Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is also the co-issuer and guarantees the $200 million of Parent Company debt. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets of the Company and retains the ownership interests in the Company’s joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include the Operating Partnership's operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.

Stockholders' equity, partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. The limited partners' units in the Operating Partnership owned by third parties are accounted for in partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and outside of stockholders' equity in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company's financial statements.

In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while stockholders' equity and partners' capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

General

Regency Centers Corporation (the "Parent Company") began its operations as a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") in 1993 and is the general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Parent Company primarily engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development and redevelopment of shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other assets other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership, and its only liabilities are $200 million of unsecured private placement notes, which are co-issued and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

As of June 30, 2022, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis owned 308 properties and held partial interests in an additional 96 properties through unconsolidated Investments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as "joint ventures" or "investment partnerships").

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.

Risks and Uncertainties

The success of the Company's tenants in operating their businesses and their ability to pay rent continue to be significantly influenced by many challenges including the impact of inflation, labor shortages, and supply chain constraints on their cost of doing business. Additionally, macroeconomic and geopolitical risks create challenges that may exacerbate current market conditions in the United States. The policies utilized to address these issues, including raising interest rates, could result in adverse impacts on the U.S. economy, including a slowing of growth and potentially a recession, thereby impacting tenants' businesses and/or decreasing future demand for space in shopping centers. The potential impact of current economic challenges on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is subject to change and continues to depend on the extent and duration of these risks and uncertainties.

Consolidation

The Company consolidates properties that are wholly-owned and properties where it owns less than 100%, but which it has control over the activities most important to the overall success of the partnership. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") and voting interest entities.

Ownership of the Operating Partnership

The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. As of June 30, 2022, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.6% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership, with the remaining limited common Partnership Units held by third parties ("Exchangeable operating partnership units" or "EOP units"). Each EOP unit is exchangeable for cash or one share of common stock of the Parent Company, at the discretion of the Parent Company, and the unit holder cannot require redemption in cash or other assets. The Parent Company has evaluated the conditions as specified under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as it relates to exchangeable operating partnership units outstanding and concluded that it has the right to satisfy the redemption requirements of the units by delivering shares of unregistered common stock. Accordingly, the Parent Company classifies EOP units as permanent equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income. The Parent Company serves as general partner of the Operating Partnership. The EOP unit holders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a VIE, and the Parent Company, which consolidates it, is the primary beneficiary. The Parent Company's only investment is the Operating Partnership. Net income and distributions of the Operating Partnership are allocable to the general and limited common Partnership Units in accordance with their ownership percentages.

Real Estate Partnerships

As of June 30, 2022, Regency had a partial ownership interest in 108 properties through partnerships, of which 12 are consolidated into the Company's financial statements. Regency's partners include institutional investors and other real estate developers and/or operators (the "Partners" or "limited partners"). Regency has a variable interest in these entities through its equity interests, with Regency the primary beneficiary in certain of these real estate partnerships. As such, Regency consolidates the partnerships into its financial statements for which it is the primary beneficiary and reports the limited partners’ interests as Noncontrolling interests. For those partnerships which Regency is not the primary beneficiary and does not control, but has significant influence, Regency recognizes its investment in them using the equity method of accounting.

The assets of these partnerships are restricted to the use of the partnerships and cannot be used by general creditors of the Company. Similarly, the obligations of the partnerships can only be settled by the assets of these partnerships or additional contributions by the partners.

The major classes of assets, liabilities, and non-controlling equity interests held by the Company's consolidated VIEs, exclusive of the Operating Partnership, are as follows:

Recently adopted:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments

 

The amendments in this update affect lessor lease classification. Lessors should classify and account for a lease as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met: (1) have variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and (2) would have resulted in the recognition of a selling loss at lease commencement if classified as sales-type or direct financing. This update results in similar treatment under the current Topic 842 as under the previous Topic 840.

 

January 2022

 

The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company's financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or related footnote disclosures as the Company's customary lease terms do not result in sales-type or direct financing classification, although future leases may.

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company's operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative transactions or purposes other than mitigation of interest rate risk. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with quality credit ratings. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

The Company's objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to attempt to stabilize interest expense where possible and to mitigate its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The Company assumed this interest rate swap which hedges debt also assumed with the purchase of Baederwood Shoppes in May 2022.

These derivative financial instruments are all interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and, as of June 30, 2022, does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

7.

Leases

All of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases. The Company's Lease income is comprised of both fixed and variable income. Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent, and in some cases stated amounts for common area maintenance ("CAM"), real estate taxes, and insurance ("Recoverable Costs"). Income for these amounts is recognized on a straight-line basis.

Variable lease income includes the following two main items in the lease contracts:

(i) Recoveries from tenants represents the tenants' contractual obligations to reimburse the Company for their portion of Recoverable Costs incurred. Generally the Company's leases provide for the tenants to reimburse the Company based on the tenants' share of the actual costs incurred in proportion to the tenants' share of leased space in the property.

(ii) Percentage rent represents amounts billable to tenants based on the tenants' actual sales volume in excess of levels specified in the lease contract.

Lease income for operating leases with fixed payment terms is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease for all leases in which collectibility is considered probable. At lease commencement, the Company generally expects that collectibility of substantially all payments due under the lease is probable due to the Company's credit checks on tenants and other credit analysis undertaken before entering into a new lease; therefore, income from most operating leases is initially recognized on a straight-line basis. For operating leases in which collectibility of Lease income is not considered probable, Lease income is recognized on a cash basis and all previously recognized straight-line rent receivables are reversed in the period in which the Lease income is determined no longer to be probable of collection. Should collectibility of Lease income become probable again, through evaluation of qualitative and quantitative measures on a tenant by tenant basis, accrual basis accounting resumes and all commencement-to-date straight-line rent is recognized in that period. In addition to the lease-specific collectibility assessment performed under Topic 842, the Company may also recognize a general reserve, as a reduction to Lease income, for its portfolio of operating lease receivables which are not expected to be fully collectible based on the Company's historical collection experience.

Fair Value Measurements

 

(a) Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management's estimation, reasonably approximate their fair values, except for the following:

The above fair values represent management's estimate of the amounts that would be received from selling those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants as of June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs which are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2022

 

The Company develops its judgments based on the best information available at the measurement date, including expected cash flows, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates, and available observable and unobservable inputs. Service providers involved in fair value measurements are evaluated for competency and qualifications on an ongoing basis. As considerable judgment is often necessary to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, the fair values presented above are not necessarily indicative of amounts that will be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

(b) Fair Value Measurements

The following financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities

The Company has investments in marketable securities that are included within Other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the securities was determined using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of securities are recorded within Net investment loss (income) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and include unrealized losses of $5.5 million and unrealized gains of $1.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and unrealized losses of $8.5 million and unrealized gains of $1.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, on equity securities.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

Available-for-sale debt securities consist of investments in certificates of deposit and corporate bonds, and are recorded at fair value using either recent trade prices for the identical debt instrument or comparable instruments by issuers of similar industry sector, issuer rating, and size, to estimate fair value, which are considered Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on these debt securities are recognized through other comprehensive income.

Interest Rate Derivatives

The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate swaps valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2022

 

During 2021, the Company entered into forward sale agreements under its ATM program to issue shares of its common stock at a weighted average offering price of $64.59 before any underwriting discount and offering expenses. In April 2022, the Company settled 984,618 shares subject to forward sales agreements and received proceeds of approximately $61.3 million, after approximately $3.3 million in underwriting discounts and offering expenses. The proceeds were used to fund acquisitions. All shares are now settled under the forward sales agreements.

As of June 30, 2022, $350.4 million of common stock remained available for issuance under this ATM equity program.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 3, 2021, the Company's Board authorized a common share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250 million of its outstanding common stock through open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions (referred to as the "Authorized Repurchase Program"). Any shares purchased, if not retired, will be treated as treasury shares. Under the current authorization, the Authorized Repurchase Program is set to expire on February 3, 2023, but may be modified or terminated at any time at the discretion of the Board. The timing and actual number of shares purchased under the Authorized Repurchase Program depend upon marketplace conditions, liquidity needs, and other factors. No shares had been repurchased under the Authorized Repurchase Program prior to or during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company executed multiple trades to repurchase 1,294,201 common shares under the Authorized Repurchase Program for a total of $75.4 million at a weighted average price of $58.25 per share. Due to the trade plus two business day settlement requirements, the June 30, 2022 trades representing 59,784 of these common shares repurchased for $3.5 million, did not settle until July 5, 2022 and remained in the Company's outstanding shares as of June 30, 2022. All repurchased shares were retired on the respective settlement dates.

Common Units of the Operating Partnership

Common units of the operating partnership are issued or redeemed and retired for each of the shares of Parent Company common stock issued or repurchased and retired, as described above. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, 18,613 Partnership Units were converted to Parent Company common stock.

Income allocated to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and exchangeable Operating Partnership units have been omitted from the denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including these amounts in the numerator and denominator would be anti-dilutive.

Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

The Company is involved in litigation on a number of matters, and is subject to other disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of any particular lawsuit or dispute cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the Company's currently pending litigation and disputes are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

Environmental

The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations pertaining primarily to chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning tenants, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, older underground petroleum storage tanks and other historic land use. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations. The Company can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to its shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contaminants; that its estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; and that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.

Letters of Credit

The Company has the right to issue letters of credit under the Line up to an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, which reduces the credit availability under the Line. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had $9.4 million in letters of credit outstanding. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral on behalf of its captive insurance program and to facilitate the construction of development projects.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial, business, legal or other outcomes including business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Regency's future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "should," "expect," "estimate," "believe," "intend," "forecast," "anticipate," "guidance," and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. While we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance these expectations will be attained, and it is possible actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties.

Our operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, risk factors described in our SEC filings. When considering an investment in our securities, you should carefully read and consider these risks, together with all other information in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings with and submissions to the SEC. If any of the events described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities, could be materially adversely affected. Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and Regency undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements except as and to the extent required by law.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the required Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") presentations, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures as we believe these measures improve the understanding of our operational results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.

Defined Terms

The following terms, as defined, are commonly used by management and the investing public to understand and evaluate our operational results:

Core Operating Earnings is an additional performance measure we use because the computation of Nareit Funds from Operations ("Nareit FFO") includes certain non-comparable items that affect our period-over-period performance. Core Operating Earnings excludes from Nareit FFO: (i) transaction related income or expenses, (ii) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt, (iii) certain non-cash components of earnings derived from above and below market rent amortization, straight-line rents, and amortization of mark-to-market debt adjustments, and (iv) other amounts as they occur. We provide reconciliations of both Net income attributable to common stockholders to Nareit FFO and Nareit FFO to Core Operating Earnings.
Development Completion is a property in development that is deemed complete upon the earlier of: (i) 90% of total estimated net development costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95%, or (ii) the property features at least two years of anchor operations. Once deemed complete, the property is termed a Retail Operating Property the following calendar year.

26


 

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as Operating EBITDAre divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders.
Nareit EBITDAre is a measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains on sales of real estate, (v) impairments of real estate, and (vi) adjustments to reflect the Company's share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Nareit Funds from Operations is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which Nareit defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains on sales and impairments of real estate, net of tax, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute Nareit FFO for all periods presented in accordance with Nareit's definition.

Companies use different depreciable lives and methods, and real estate values historically fluctuate with market conditions. Since Nareit FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains on sale and impairments of real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in percent leased, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Thus, Nareit FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP; and, therefore, should not be considered a substitute measure of cash flows from operations. We provide a reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders to Nareit FFO.

Net Operating Income ("NOI") is the sum of base rent, percentage rent, recoveries from tenants, other lease income, and other property income, less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, ground rent, and uncollectible lease income. NOI excludes straight-line rental income and expense, above and below market rent and ground rent amortization, tenant lease inducement amortization, and other fees. We also provide disclosure of NOI excluding termination fees, which excludes both termination fee income and expenses.
A Non-Same Property is any property, during either calendar year period being compared, that was acquired, sold, a Property in Development, a Development Completion, or a property under, or being positioned for, significant redevelopment that distorts comparability between periods. Non-retail properties and corporate activities, including the captive insurance program, are part of Non-Same Property.
Operating EBITDAre begins with Nareit EBITDAre and excludes certain non-cash components of earnings derived from above and below market rent amortization and straight-line rents. We provide a reconciliation of Net income to Nareit EBITDAre to Operating EBITDAre.
Pro-rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our economic share (based on our ownership interest) in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships.

We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, operating results, and other metrics, along with certain other non-GAAP measures, makes comparisons of other REITs' operating results to ours more meaningful. The Pro-rata information provided is not, nor is it intended to be, presented in accordance with GAAP. The Pro-rata supplemental details of assets and liabilities and supplemental details of operations reflect our proportionate economic ownership of the assets, liabilities, and operating results of the properties in our portfolio.

The Pro-rata information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts and is intended to more accurately reflect our proportionate economic interest in the assets, liabilities, and operating results of properties in our portfolio. We do not control the unconsolidated investment partnerships, and the Pro-rata presentations of the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses do not represent our legal claim to such items. The partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the operating agreements, which generally provide for such allocations according to their invested capital. Our share of invested capital establishes the ownership interests we use to prepare our Pro-rata share.

The presentation of Pro-rata information has limitations which include, but are not limited to, the following:

o
The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and

27


 

o
Other companies in our industry may calculate their Pro-rata interest differently, limiting the comparability of Pro-rata information.

Because of these limitations, the Pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the Pro-rata information as a supplement.

Property In Development includes properties in various stages of ground-up development.
Property In Redevelopment includes Retail Operating Properties under redevelopment or being positioned for redevelopment. Unless otherwise indicated, a Property in Redevelopment is included in the Same Property pool.
Redevelopment Completion is a property in redevelopment that is deemed complete upon the earlier of: (i) 90% of total estimated project costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95% for the Company owned GLA related to the project, or (ii) the property features at least two years of anchor operations, if applicable.
Retail Operating Property is any retail property not termed a Property in Development. A retail property is any property where the majority of the income is generated from retail uses.
Same Property is a Retail Operating Property that was owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar year periods being compared. This term excludes Properties in Development, prior year Development Completions, and Non-Same Properties. Properties in Redevelopment are included unless otherwise indicated.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers Corporation began its operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993, and as of June 30, 2022, had full or partial ownership interests in 404 retail properties. Our properties are high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers primarily anchored by market leading grocers and principally located in suburban markets within the country's most desirable metro areas and contain 51.1 million square feet ("SF") of gross leasable area ("GLA"). All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through our Operating Partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through our co-investment partnerships. As of June 30, 2022, the Parent Company owns approximately 99.6% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

Our mission is to create thriving environments for retailers and service providers to connect with surrounding neighborhoods and communities. Our vision is to elevate quality of life as an integral thread in the fabric of our communities. Our portfolio includes thriving properties merchandised with highly productive grocers, restaurants, service providers, and best-in-class retailers that connect to their neighborhoods, communities, and customers.

Our values:

We are our people: Our people are our greatest asset, and we believe a talented team from differing backgrounds and experiences make us better.
We do what is right: We act with unwavering standards of honesty and integrity.
We connect with our communities: We promote philanthropic ideas and strive for the betterment of our neighborhoods by giving our time and financial support.
We are responsible: Our duty is to balance purpose and profit, being good stewards of capital and the environment for the benefit of all our stakeholders.
We strive for excellence: When we are passionate about what we do, it is reflected in our performance.
We are better together: When we listen to each other and our customers, we will succeed together.

Our goals are to:

Own and manage a portfolio of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers primarily anchored by market leading grocers and principally located in suburban trade areas in the country’s most desirable metro areas. We expect that this strategy will result in highly desirable and attractive centers with best-in-class retailers. These centers should command higher rental and occupancy rates resulting in excellent prospects to grow net operating income ("NOI");

28


 

Maintain an industry leading and disciplined development and redevelopment platform to create exceptional retail centers that deliver higher returns as compared to acquisitions;
Support our business activities with a conservative capital structure, including a strong balance sheet with sufficient liquidity to meet our capital needs together with a carefully constructed debt maturity profile;
Implement leading environmental, social, and governance practices through our Corporate Responsibility Program;
Engage and retain an exceptional and diverse team that is guided by our strong values, while fostering an environment of innovation and continuous improvement; and
Create shareholder value by increasing earnings and dividends per share that generate total returns at or near the top of our shopping center peers.

Risks and Uncertainties

The success of our tenants in operating their businesses and their ability to pay rent continue to be significantly influenced by many challenges, including the impact of inflation, labor shortages, and supply chain constraints. Additionally, macroeconomic and geopolitical risks create challenges that may exacerbate current market conditions in the United States. The policies utilized to address these issues, including raising interest rates, could result in adverse impacts on the U.S. economy, including a slowing of growth and potentially a recession, thereby impacting our tenants' businesses and/or decreasing future demand for space in our shopping centers. Refer to Item 1, Note 1 to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Please also refer to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, for additional discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business including, without limitation, refer to the Risk Factors discussed in Item 1A of Part I thereof.

Executing on our Strategy

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we had Net income attributable to common stockholders of $300.0 million, which includes gains on sale of real estate of $106.2 million, as compared to $176.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022:

Our Pro-rata same property NOI, excluding termination fees, increased 4.1%, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021, primarily attributable to continued improvement in collections of lease income from cash basis tenants, combined with improvements in base rent from increases in year over year occupancy rates, contractual rent steps in existing leases, and positive rent spreads on new and renewal leases.
We executed 934 new and renewal leasing transactions representing 3.2 million Pro-rata SF during the six months ended June 30, 2022 as compared to 986 leasing transactions representing 3.0 million Pro-rata SF during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Rent spreads for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2022 were positive 8.3%. Rent spreads are calculated on all executed leasing transactions for comparable Retail Operating Property space, including spaces vacant greater than twelve months.
At June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 our total property portfolio was 94.2%, 94.1%, and 92.5% leased, respectively. At June 30, 2022, December 31, 2021, and June 30, 2021 our Same Property portfolio was 94.5%, 94.3%, and 92.9% leased, respectively.

We continued our development and redevelopment of high quality shopping centers:

Estimated Pro-rata project costs of our current in process development and redevelopment projects total $389.6 million at June 30, 2022 as compared to $307.3 million at December 31, 2021.
Redevelopment projects completed during 2022 represent $21.0 million of estimated net project cost with a weighted average incremental stabilized yield of 8%.

 

29


 

We maintain a conservative balance sheet in order to provide liquidity and financial flexibility to cost effectively fund investment opportunities and debt maturities:

During April 2022, we settled and issued 984,618 common shares under forward sale agreements at a weighted average price of $64.59, before any underwriting discount and offering expenses. Net proceeds received at settlement were approximately $61.3 million and were used to fund acquisitions.
During June 2022, we executed multiple trades to repurchase 1,294,201 common shares under the Authorized Repurchase Program for a total of $75.4 million at a weighted average price of $58.25 per share. Due to the trade plus two business day settlement requirements, the June 30, 2022 trades representing 59,784 of these common shares repurchased for $3.5 million, did not settle until July 5, 2022 and remained in our outstanding shares as of June 30, 2022. All repurchased shares were retired on the respective settlement dates.
We have no unsecured debt maturities until 2024 and a manageable level of secured mortgage maturities during the next twelve months, including mortgages within our real estate partnerships.
At June 30, 2022, our Pro-rata net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a trailing twelve month basis was 5.0x as compared to 5.1x at December 31, 2021.

The weighted average annual base rent ("ABR") per square foot on signed shop space leases during 2022 was $37.21 PSF, which is higher than the ABR rent per square foot of all shop space leases due to expire during the next 12 months of $33.50 PSF. New and renewal rent spreads on a trailing twelve month basis were positive at 8.3% as compared to prior rents on those same spaces; however, the United States economy, as well as specific geographic markets in which we operate, could face a challenging economic environment should pressures such as high inflation, labor shortages, and supply chain constraints persist long term.

In addition, measures intended to contain or reduce inflation, such as increasing interest rates, could also adversely impact our volume of leasing activity, leasing spreads and financial results generally, and the business and financial results of our tenants. The aggregate impacts of these challenges, including a slowing of growth and potentially a recession, could have an adverse effect on our tenants and may also negatively affect the overall market for retail space, including decreased demand for space in our centers. This, in turn, could result in pricing pressure on rents that we are able to charge to new or renewing tenants, such that future rent spreads could be negatively impacted. Further, we may experience higher costs for tenant buildouts, as costs of materials and labor are increasing and supply and availability of both have tightened.

Bankruptcies and Credit Concerns

Our management team devotes significant time to researching and monitoring consumer preferences and trends, customer shopping behaviors, changes in delivery methods, shifts to e-commerce, and changing demographics in order to anticipate the challenges and opportunities impacting our industry. We seek to mitigate these potential impacts through maintaining a high quality portfolio, tenant diversification, replacing weaker tenants with stronger operators, anchoring our centers with market leading grocery stores that drive customer traffic, and maintaining a presence in suburban trade areas with compelling demographic populations benefiting from high levels of disposal income.

Although base rent is set forth in long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy generally have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. Any unsecured claim we hold against a bankrupt tenant for unpaid rent might be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold. Additionally, we may incur significant expense to adjudicate our claim and to re-lease the vacated space. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files bankruptcy and cancels its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues.

Lease income increased $16.1 million, on a net basis, driven by the following contractually billable components of rent to the tenants per the lease agreements:

$14.7 million increase from billable Base rent, as follows:
o
$5.3 million increase from acquisitions of operating properties as well as from rent commencements at development properties; and
o
$11.1 million net increase from same properties, particularly from a $5.3 million increase related to our acquisition and resulting consolidation of the eleven properties previously held in the USAA and RegCal partnerships, and a $5.8 million net increase in the remaining same properties due to increases from occupancy, rent steps in existing leases, and positive rental spreads on new and renewal leases; offset by
o
$1.7 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.
$1.7 million decrease from changes in Uncollectible lease income.
o
During 2022, Uncollectible lease income was a net positive $4.9 million driven by $5.5 million collection of prior period reserves on cash basis tenants and the $845,000 positive impact of lease modification agreements offset by the $1.4 million reserve recognized on current period billings.
o
During 2021, Uncollectible lease income was a net positive $6.6 million driven by $10.4 million collection of prior period reserves on cash basis tenants exceeding $3.8 million reserve recognized on current period billings.
$1.0 million decrease in Other lease income due to a decrease in lease termination fees.
$4.3 million increase in straight-line rent from a reduction in cash basis tenants identified in 2022 as compared to 2021, as well as re-establishing $3.1 million of straight-line rent receivables related to converting previously identified cash basis tenants back to accrual basis as we now consider collections from these tenants as probable.

Management, transaction, and other fees decreased $856,000 primarily from reductions in management fees due to sales and buyouts of properties within our NYC, USAA and RegCal unconsolidated partnerships, as well as a reduction in debt placement fees.

Depreciation and amortization costs increased $5.1 million, on a net basis, as follows:

$3.6 million increase from acquisitions of operating properties and corporate assets, as well as from development properties where tenant spaces became available for occupancy; and
$1.7 million increase from same properties, primarily related to redevelopment projects; offset by
$196,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties.

Operating and maintenance costs increased $1.2 million, on a net basis, as follows:

$562,000 net increase from acquisitions of operating properties and from development properties; and
$1.2 million increase from same properties primarily attributable to an increase in costs associated with general property maintenance, tenant utilities, and association fees as our centers return to customary operating levels, as well as additional security costs; offset by
$576,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties.

General and administrative costs decreased $1.5 million, on a net basis, as follows:

$6.5 million net decrease due to changes in the value of participant obligations within the deferred compensation plan, attributable to changes in market values of those investments, reflected within Net investment income; offset by
$2.9 million increase in compensation costs;
$1.6 million net increase in other corporate overhead costs primarily driven by travel and entertainment costs returning to more customary levels; and
$387,000 increase due to lower development overhead capitalization based on the status and progress of our development and redevelopment projects.

Real estate taxes increased $1.3 million, on a net basis, from acquisitions of operating properties, as well as from developments where capitalization ceased and spaces became available for occupancy.

Other operating expenses decreased $559,000 primarily attributable to decreases in federal taxes and development pursuit costs.

The $887,000 net increase in Interest expense is primarily driven by an increase in mortgage interest expense from recently acquired properties.

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized gains on sale of $4.3 million for two land parcels. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized gains on sale of $19.8 million from one operating property and the receipt of property insurance proceeds.

Net investment income decreased $7.5 million primarily driven by realized and unrealized losses during 2022 on investments held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and our captive insurance company. There is an offsetting charge in General and administrative costs related to participant obligations within the deferred compensation plans.

Our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships increased as follows:

On April 1, 2022, we acquired our partner's 75% share in four properties held in the RegCal partnership for a total purchase price of $88.5 million; therefore, results following the date of acquisition are included in consolidated results. A single operating property remains within RegCal, LLC, at June 30, 2022.
(2)
On August 1, 2021, we acquired our partner's 80% interest in the seven properties held in the USAA partnership; therefore, results following the date of acquisition are included in consolidated results.

The $23.4 million increase in our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships is largely attributable to the following changes:

$9.9 million increase within NYC, primarily due to a gain on the sale of two operating properties;
$3.2 million increase within RegCal, primarily due to a gain on sale of one operating property; and
$10.1 million increase within Other investments in real estate partnerships, primarily from the impairment of a single property partnership that occurred during 2021.

Lease income increased $43.4 million, on a net basis, driven by the following contractually billable components of rent to the tenants per the lease agreements:

$25.4 million increase from billable Base rent, as follows:
o
$1.2 million net increase from rent commencements at development properties;
o
$9.1 million increase from acquisitions of operating properties; and
o
$19.5 million net increase from same properties, particularly from a $8.6 million increase related to our acquisition and resulting consolidation of the eleven properties previously held in the USAA and RegCal partnerships, and a $10.9 million net increase in the remaining same properties due to increases from occupancy, rent steps in existing leases, and positive rental spreads on new and renewal lease; offset by
o
$4.3 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.
$5.4 million increase from contractual Recoveries from tenants, which represents the tenants' Pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, insurance and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers. Recoveries from tenants increased, on a net basis, primarily from the following:
o
$3.9 million increase from acquisition of operating properties and rent commencing at development properties; and
o
$2.7 million net increase from same properties due to higher real estate tax recoveries; offset by
o
$1.2 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.
$1.6 million increase in percentage rent primarily due to improvements in tenant sales.
$2.2 million increase from favorable changes in Uncollectible lease income.

36


 

o
During 2022, Uncollectible lease income was a net positive $11.0 million driven by $14.1 million collection of prior period reserves on cash basis tenants and the $1.8 million positive impact of lease modification agreements offset by the $4.9 million reserve recognized on current period billings.
o
During 2021, Uncollectible lease income was a net positive $8.9 million driven by $29.5 million collection of prior period reserves on cash basis tenants offset by $20.6 million reserved on 2021 billings.
$9.5 million increase in straight-line rent from a reduction in cash basis tenants identified in 2022 as compared to 2021, as well as re-establishing $6.7 million of straight-line rent receivables related to converting previously identified cash basis tenants back to accrual basis as we now consider collections from these tenants as probable.

Depreciation and amortization costs increased $5.7 million, on a net basis, as follows:

$6.8 million increase from acquisitions of operating properties, as well as from development properties where tenant spaces became available for occupancy, offset by decreases in corporate asset depreciation; and
$1.1 million increase from same properties, primarily related to redevelopment projects; offset by
$2.2 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.

Operating and maintenance costs increased $2.1 million, on a net basis, as follows:

$1.9 million net increase from acquisitions of operating properties and from development properties; and
$3.2 million increase from same properties primarily attributable to higher insurance premiums and additional security costs, as well as an increase in costs associated with general property maintenance and landscaping as our centers return to customary operating levels; offset by
$3.0 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.

General and administrative costs decreased $4.0 million, on a net basis, as follows:

$9.9 million net decrease due to changes in the value of participant obligations within the deferred compensation plan, attributable to changes in market values of those investments, reflected within Net investment income; offset by
$3.5 million net increase in compensation costs primarily driven by performance based incentive compensation;
$1.9 million net increase in other corporate overhead costs primarily driven by travel and entertainment costs returning to customary levels; and
$435,000 increase due to lower development overhead capitalization based on the timing and progress of our development and redevelopment projects.

Real estate taxes increased $2.0 million, on a net basis, as follows:

$2.4 million increase from acquisitions of operating properties, as well as from developments where capitalization ceased and spaces became available for occupancy; and
$364,000 net increase at same properties including $1.4 million increase related to our acquisition and resulting consolidation of the eleven properties previously held in the USAA and RegCal partnerships, offset by $1.0 million decrease at various properties within the portfolio from lower assessed values; offset by
$834,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized gains on sale of $106.2 million for three land parcel and one operating property. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized gains on sale of $31.5 million from one land parcel and five operating properties.

Net investment income decreased $11.4 million primarily driven by realized and unrealized losses during 2022 of investments held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan and our captive insurance company.

Supplemental Earnings Information

We use certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to certain performance metrics determined under GAAP, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the our operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of operating results, along with other non-GAAP measures, may assist in comparing our operating results to other REITs. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change. See "Non-GAAP Measures" at the beginning of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management's judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.

Billable Base rent increased $6.5 million and $12.3 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, due to rent steps in existing leases, positive rental spreads on new and renewal leases, increases in occupancy.

Recoveries from tenants decreased $4.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to decreases in prior year recoveries.

Percentage rent increased $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, due to improvements in tenant sales.

Termination fees decreased $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, due to termination fees from several tenants at various properties during 2021, both wholly owned and within our partnerships.

Uncollectible lease income decreased $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by higher collection in 2021 of previously reserved amounts. Uncollectible lease income increased $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, primarily driven by improvements in current period collection rates and collection of previously reserved amounts.

Operating and maintenance increased $1.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, due primarily to increases in insurance premiums and other tenant reimbursable costs.

Real estate taxes decreased $1.4 million and $1.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, due to changes in assessed values at properties across our portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We use cash flows generated from operating, investing, and financing activities to strengthen our balance sheet, finance our development and redevelopment projects, fund our investment activities, and maintain financial flexibility. A significant portion of our cash from operations is distributed to our common shareholders in the form of dividends in order to maintain our status as a REIT.

Except for $200 million of private placement debt, our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. All remaining debt is held by our Operating Partnership or by our co-investment partnerships. The Operating Partnership is a co-issuer and a guarantor of the $200 million of outstanding debt of our Parent Company. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units.

We continually assess our available liquidity and our expected cash requirements, which includes monitoring our tenant rent collections. We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs, including the capital requirements of our in process and planned developments, redevelopments, and capital expenditures, and the repayment of debt. We expect to meet these needs by using a combination of the following: cash flow from operations after funding our dividend, proceeds from the sale of real estate, mortgage loan and unsecured bank financing, distributions received from our co-investment partnerships, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity or the issuance of new unsecured debt. We continually evaluate alternative financing options, and we believe we can obtain financing on reasonable terms, although likely at higher interest rates than that of our debt currently outstanding.

We have no unsecured debt maturities until 2024 and a manageable level of secured mortgage maturities during the next 12 months, including those mortgages within our real estate partnerships. Based upon our available cash balance, sources of capital, our current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties we own, we believe our available capital resources are sufficient to meet our expected capital needs for the next year.

In addition to our $118.1 million of unrestricted cash, we have the following additional sources of capital available:

Maturity (2)

Net of letters of credit.
(2)
The Company has the option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods.

The declaration of dividends is determined quarterly by our Board of Directors. On August 2, 2022, our Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.625 per share, payable on October 4, 2022, to shareholders of record as of September 15, 2022. While future dividends will be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors, we plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our dividend distributions. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, we generated cash flow from operations of $327.8 million and $325.3 million, respectively, and paid $214.8 million and $202.1 million in dividends to our common stock and unit holders, respectively.

We currently have development and redevelopment projects in various stages of construction, along with a pipeline of potential projects for future development or redevelopment. After funding our common stock dividend payment in July 2022, we estimate that we will require capital during the next twelve months of approximately $382.5 million related to leasing, tenant improvements, in-process developments and redevelopments, capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships, and repaying maturing debt. These capital requirements are being impacted by current levels of high inflation resulting in increased costs of construction materials, labor, and services from third party contractors and suppliers. In response, we have implemented mitigation strategies such as entering into fixed cost construction contracts, pre-ordering materials, and other planning efforts. Further, continued challenges from labor shortages and supply chain disruptions may extend the time to completion of these projects.

If we start new developments or redevelopments, commit to property acquisitions, repay debt prior to maturity, declare future dividends, or repurchase shares of our common stock, our cash requirements will increase. If we refinance maturing debt, our cash requirements will decrease. We expect to generate the necessary cash to fund our long-term capital needs from cash flow from

operations, borrowings from our Line, proceeds from the sale of real estate, mortgage loan and unsecured bank financing, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity or the issuance of new unsecured debt. If we borrow on our variable rate Line, with rising interest rates, our cost of borrowing would increase.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. As of June 30, 2022, 89.2% of our wholly-owned real estate assets were unencumbered. Such assets allow us to access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain availability on the Line. Our trailing twelve month Fixed charge coverage ratio, including our Pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 4.6x and 4.5x for the periods ended June 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, respectively, and our Pro-rata net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a trailing twelve month basis was 5.0x and 5.1x, respectively, for the same periods.

Our Line and unsecured loans require that we remain in compliance with various covenants, which are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021. We are in compliance with all covenants at June 30, 2022, and expect to remain in compliance.

Significant changes in investing activities include:

We paid $139.8 million to purchase six operating properties in 2022, including four properties in which we previously held a 25% interest through an unconsolidated Investment in real estate partnership. We made no acquisitions but paid $500,000 in deposits on potential acquisitions during the same period in 2021.
We invested $26.7 million more in 2022 than the same period in 2021 on real estate development, redevelopment, and capital improvements, as further detailed in a table below.
We sold one operating property, two land parcels, and one development project interest in 2022 and received proceeds of $136.4 million compared to six operating properties and one land parcel in 2021 for proceeds of $107.6 million.

 

43


 

We invested $11.5 million in our real estate partnerships during 2022, including:
o
$6.1 million to fund our share of acquiring one operating property within an existing co-investment partnership, and
o
$6.1 million to fund our share of development and redevelopment activities.

During the same period in 2021, we invested $21.4 million, including:

o
$18.7 million to fund our share of debt payments, and
o
$2.7 million to fund our share of development and redevelopment activities.
Return of capital from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships includes sales or financing proceeds. During the six months ended June 30, 2022 we received $36.9 million from our share of proceeds from real estate sales and $11.6 million from our share of proceeds from debt refinancing activities. During the same period in 2021, we received $30.6 million from our share of proceeds from real estate sales and $28.1 million from our share of debt refinancing activities.
Acquisition of securities and proceeds from sale of securities pertain to investment activities held in our captive insurance company and our deferred compensation plan.

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping shopping centers for long-term investment. During 2022, we deployed capital of $99.5 million for the development, redevelopment, and improvement of our real estate properties, comprised of the following:

We acquired one land parcel for development in 2022.
Building and tenant improvements increased $17.5 million in 2022, primarily related to the timing of capital projects.
Redevelopment expenditures are lower in 2022 due to the timing and magnitude of projects currently in process. We intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansion, facade renovation, new out-parcel building construction, and redevelopment related tenant improvement costs. The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan. The timing and duration of these projects could also result in volatility in NOI. See the tables below for more details about our redevelopment projects.
Development expenditures are higher in 2022 due to the progress towards completion of our development projects currently in process. See the tables below for more details about our development projects.
Interest is capitalized on our development and redevelopment projects and is based on cumulative actual costs expended. We cease interest capitalization when the property is no longer being developed or is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but in no event would we capitalize interest on the project beyond 12 months after the anchor opens for business. If we reduce our development and redevelopment activity, the amount of interest that we capitalize may be lower than historical averages.
We have a staff of employees who directly support our development program, which includes redevelopment of our existing properties. Internal compensation costs directly attributable to these activities are capitalized as part of each project.

At June 30, 2022, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.4 billion maturing through 2034, of which 93.2% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.5%. The remaining notes payable float with LIBOR or SOFR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 3.1%. These fixed and variable rate notes payable are all non-recourse, and our Pro-rata share was $517.6 million as of June 30, 2022. As notes payable mature, we expect they will be repaid from proceeds from new borrowings and/or partner capital contributions.

We believe that our partners are financially sound and have sufficient capital or access thereto to fund future capital requirements. In the event that a co-investment partner was unable to fund its share of the capital requirements of the co-investment partnership, we would have the right, but not the obligation, to loan the defaulting partner the amount of its capital call.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to Unaudited Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining primarily to specific chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning and gas station tenants and the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers. We believe that the few tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we endeavor to require tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to more environmentally friendly systems, in accordance with the terms of our leases. We have a blanket environmental insurance policy for third-party liabilities and remediation costs on shopping centers that currently have no known environmental contamination. We have also secured environmental insurance policies, where appropriate, on a relatively small number of specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate our environmental risk. We monitor the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediate the sites. We also have legal obligations to remediate certain sites and we are in the process of doing so.

As of June 30, 2022, we had accrued liabilities of $11.1 million for our Pro-rata share of environmental remediation, including our Investments in real estate partnerships. We believe that the ultimate remediation of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. We can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contamination; that our estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to us.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt, to repay maturing debt, or fund our commitments. We continue to believe, in light of our credit ratings, the capacity under our unsecured credit facility, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties that we own which could collateralize borrowings, we will be able to successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund maturing debt obligations. It is uncertain the degree to which capital market volatility and rising interest rates will adversely impact the interest rates on any new debt that we may issue, which will impact future interest costs. Otherwise, there have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk disclosed in item 7A of Part II of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Controls and Procedures (Regency Centers Corporation)

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Parent Company's management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Parent Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation, the Parent Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures

designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Parent Company in the reports it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Parent Company's internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the second quarter of 2022 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Controls and Procedures (Regency Centers, L.P.)

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Operating Partnership's management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of its general partner, the Operating Partnership conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of its general partner concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Operating Partnership in the reports it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of its general partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in the Operating Partnership's internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the second quarter of 2022 which have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are a party to various legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any litigation, nor to our knowledge, is any litigation threatened against us, the outcome of which would, in our judgment based on information currently available to us, have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, no assurances can be given as to the outcome of any threatened or pending legal proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Please refer to the discussion of the potential risks of inflation and rising interest rates on the Company and its tenants due to the challenges in the current macroenvironment and recent global events under note 1 in Item 1. Financial Statements and Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis for Financial Condition and Results of Operations, including but not limited to "Risks and Uncertainties."

During the first half of 2022 and continuing into the third quarter, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System ("the U.S. Federal Reserve") has significantly raised its benchmark federal funds rate which has led to interest rates in the credit markets increasing. The U.S. Federal Reserve may continue to raise the federal funds rate which will likely lead to higher interest rates in the credit markets. In general, government policies implemented to address inflation, including actions by the U.S. Federal Reserve to increase interest rates, could result in adverse impacts on the U.S. economy, including a slowing of growth and potentially a recession.

Our exposure to increases in interest rates in the short term includes our variable-rate borrowings, which consist of borrowings under our unsecured senior line of credit and variable rate based secured notes payable and our real estate valuations. Increases in interest rates could increase our financing costs over time, either through near-term borrowings on our floating-rate line of credit or refinancing of our existing borrowings that may incur higher interest expenses related to the issuance of new debt. Historically, during periods of increasing interest rates, real estate valuations have generally decreased as a result of rising capitalization rates which tend to move directionally with interest rates. Consequently, prolonged periods of higher interest rates may negatively impact the valuation of our real estate asset portfolio and could result in the decline of our stock price and market capitalization which may adversely impact our ability and willingness to raise equity capital on favorable terms through sales of our common shares, including through our ATM program.

Although the extent of any prolonged periods of higher interest rates remains unknown at this time, negative impacts to our cost of capital may adversely affect our future business plans and growth, at least in the near term. In addition, recently increased interest rates appear to have impacted the current market for the purchase and sale of properties such as those we own by decreasing the availability and increasing the cost of debt capital, thereby resulting, in some cases, in a smaller pool of potential buyers for certain assets and reduced asset prices.

 

49


 

Other than these matters, there have been no material developments from the risk factors disclosed in item 1A. of Part I of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we issued 18,613 shares of common stock of Regency Centers Corporation in connection with the redemption of common units of Regency Centers, L.P. in reliance on the exemption from registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, afforded by Section 4(a) (2) thereof. There were no other unregistered sales of equity securities during the three months ended June 30, 2022.

On February 3, 2021, the Company's Board authorized a common share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250 million of shares of its outstanding common stock through open market purchases and/or in privately negotiated transactions. Any shares purchased will be retired. This program expires by its terms on February 3, 2023. The timing and actual number of shares purchased under the program depend upon marketplace conditions and other factors. The authorization remains subject to the discretion of the Board.

e.
directors nominated by shareholders complete a written questionnaire, make certain representations, including as to voting commitments, arrangements with third-parties, fiduciary duties and compliance matters, and provide the Company with certain information.
4.
allowing the Board to adjust its size without the approval of shareholders;
5.
providing for more flexibility in the titles and duties of certain officers of the Company;
6.

7.
accounting for the adoption by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of the “universal proxy” rules and related requirements; and
8.
making certain other administrative updates and ministerial changes.

The preceding summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated Bylaws, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 3.1 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.

Article 3

Shareholders

Section 3.1 Annual Meeting. The annual meeting of shareholders shall be held on a date and at a time and place designated by the Board of Directors, for the purpose of electing directors and for the transaction of such other business as may come before the meeting. If the election of directors shall not be held on the day fixed as herein provided for any annual meeting of shareholders, or at any adjournment thereof, the Board of Directors shall cause the election to be held at a special meeting of shareholders as soon thereafter as is practicable.

Section 3.2 Special Meetings.

(a) Call by Directors or President. Special meetings of shareholders, for any purpose or purposes, may be called by the Board of Directors, the Chairman of the Board, the Lead Director (if any) or the President.

(b) Call by Shareholders. The corporation shall call a special meeting of shareholders in the event that the holders of not less than ten percent (10%) of all of the votes entitled to be cast on any issue proposed to be considered at the proposed special meeting sign, date, and deliver to the Secretary one or more written demands for the meeting describing one or more purposes for which it is to be held, along with the information required by Section 3.15(b) and 3.15(c) of these bylaws. For purposes of this Section, eligibility of a holder to request a special meeting shall be determined pursuant to the definition of “ownership” set forth in Section 3.18(d)(i) of these Bylaws. A shareholder may revoke a request for a special meeting at any time by written revocation delivered to, or mailed to and received by, the Secretary of the Corporation. If, at any time after receipt by the Secretary of the Corporation of a proper request for a special meeting of shareholders, there are no longer valid requests from shareholders holding in the aggregate at least the requisite number of shares entitling the shareholders to request the calling of a special meeting, whether because of revoked requests or otherwise, the Board of Directors, in its discretion, may cancel the special meeting (or, if the special meeting has not yet been called, may direct the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Secretary of the Corporation not to call such a meeting). The corporation shall give notice of a special meeting within sixty (60) days after the date that any valid demand by shareholders pursuant to these bylaws is delivered to the corporation.

Section 3.3 Place of Meeting. The Board of Directors may designate any place, either within or without the State of Florida, as the place of meeting for any annual or special meeting of shareholders. If no designation is made, the place of meeting shall be the principal office of the corporation. The Board of Directors may determine that a meeting of shareholders shall, in addition to or instead of a physical meeting, be held by means of remote communication as provided under the Act.

Section 3.4 Notice of Meeting.

(a) Content and Delivery. Written notice stating the date, time, and place of any meeting of shareholders and, in the case of a special meeting, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called, shall be delivered not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60) days

-2-

 


 

before the date of the meeting by or at the direction of the President or the Secretary, or the officer or persons duly calling the meeting, to each shareholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting and to such other persons as required by the Act. Unless the Act requires otherwise, notice of an annual meeting need not include a description of the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. If mailed, notice of a meeting of shareholders shall be deemed to be delivered when deposited in the United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the stock record books of the corporation, with postage thereon prepaid.

(b) Notice of Adjourned Meetings. If an annual or special meeting of shareholders is adjourned to a different date, time, or place, the corporation shall not be required to give notice of the new date, time, or place if the new date, time, or place is announced at the meeting before adjournment; provided, however, that if a new record date for an adjourned meeting is or must be fixed, the corporation shall give notice of the adjourned meeting to persons who are shareholders as of the new record date who are entitled to notice of the meeting.

(c) No Notice Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Section, no notice of a meeting of shareholders need be given to a shareholder if: (1) notice for two consecutive annual meetings of shareholders, and all notices of meetings or the taking of action by written consent without a meeting during the period between such two consecutive annual meetings of shareholders, or (2) all, and at least two, payments of dividends or interest on securities during a twelve-month period have been sent by first-class, United States mail, addressed to the shareholder at his or her address as it appears on the share transfer books of the corporation, and returned undeliverable. The obligation of the corporation to give notice of a shareholders’ meeting to any such shareholder shall be reinstated once the corporation has received a new address for such shareholder for entry on its share transfer books.

Section 3.5 Waiver of Notice.

(a) Written Waiver. A shareholder may waive any notice required by the Act or these bylaws before or after the date and time stated for the meeting in the notice. The waiver shall be in writing and signed by the shareholder entitled to the notice, and be delivered to the corporation for inclusion in the minutes or filing with the corporate records. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any regular or special meeting of shareholders need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

(b) Waiver by Attendance. A shareholder’s attendance at a meeting, in person or by proxy, waives objection to all of the following: (1) lack of notice or defective notice of the meeting, unless the shareholder at the beginning of the meeting objects to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting; and (2) consideration of a particular matter at the meeting that is not within the purpose or purposes described in the meeting notice, unless the shareholder objects to considering the matter when it is presented.

Section 3.6 Fixing of Record Date.

(a) General. The Board of Directors may fix in advance a date as the record date for the purpose of determining shareholders entitled to notice of a shareholders’ meeting, entitled to vote, or take any other action. In no event may a record date fixed by the Board of Directors be

-3-

 


 

a date preceding the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted or a date more than seventy days before the date of meeting or action requiring a determination of shareholders.

(b) Special Meeting. The record date for determining shareholders entitled to demand a special meeting shall be the close of business on the date the first shareholder delivers his or her demand to the corporation.

(c) Shareholder Action by Written Consent. If no prior action is required by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Act, the record date for determining shareholders entitled to take action without a meeting shall be the close of business on the date the first signed written consent with respect to the action in question is delivered to the corporation, but if prior action is required by the Board of Directors pursuant to the Act, such record date shall be the close of business on the date on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior action unless the Board of Directors otherwise fixes a record date.

(d) Absence of Board Determination for Shareholders’ Meeting. If the Board of Directors does not determine the record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of and to vote at an annual or special shareholders’ meeting, such record date shall be the close of business on the day before the first notice with respect thereto is delivered to shareholders.

(e) Adjourned Meeting. A record date for determining shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a shareholders’ meeting is effective for any adjournment of the meeting unless the Board of Directors fixes a new record date, which it must do if the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after the date fixed for the original meeting.

Section 3.7 Shareholders’ List for Meetings.

(a) Preparation and Availability. After a record date for a meeting of shareholders has been fixed, the corporation shall prepare an alphabetical list of the names of all of the shareholders entitled to notice of the meeting. The list shall be arranged by class or series of shares, if any, and show the address of and number of shares held by each shareholder. Such list shall be available for inspection by any shareholder for a period of ten days prior to the meeting or such shorter time as exists between the record date and the meeting date, and continuing through the meeting, at the corporation’s principal office, at a place identified in the meeting notice in the city where the meeting will be held, or at the office of the corporation’s transfer agent or registrar, if any. A shareholder or his or her agent or attorney may, on written demand, inspect the list, subject to the requirements of the Act, during regular business hours and at his or her expense, during the period that it is available for inspection pursuant to this Section. The corporation shall make the shareholders’ list available at the meeting and any shareholder or his or her agent or attorney may inspect the list at any time during the meeting or any adjournment thereof.

(b) Prima Facie Evidence. The shareholders’ list is prima facie evidence of the identity of shareholders entitled to examine the shareholders’ list or to vote at a meeting of shareholders.

(c) Failure to Comply. If the requirements of this Section have not been substantially complied with, or if the corporation refuses to allow a shareholder or his or her agent or attorney to inspect the shareholders’ list before or at the meeting, on the demand of any

-4-

 


 

shareholder, in person or by proxy, who failed to get such access, the meeting shall be adjourned until such requirements are complied with.

(d) Validity of Action Not Affected. Refusal or failure to prepare or make available the shareholders’ list shall not affect the validity of any action taken at a meeting of shareholders.

Section 3.8 Conduct of Meetings by Remote Communication. The Board of Directors may adopt guidelines and procedures for shareholders and proxy holders not physically present at an annual or special meeting of shareholders to participate in the meeting, be deemed present in person, vote, communicate and read or hear the proceedings of the meeting substantially concurrently with such proceedings, all by means of remote communication. The Board of Directors may adopt procedures and guidelines for the conduct of an annual or special meeting solely by means of remote communication rather than holding the meeting at a designated place.

Section 3.9 Quorum.

(a) What Constitutes a Quorum. Shares entitled to vote as a separate voting group may take action on a matter at a meeting only if a quorum of those shares exists with respect to that matter. If the corporation has only one class of stock outstanding, such class shall constitute a separate voting group for purposes of this Section. Except as otherwise provided in the Act, a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter shall constitute a quorum of the voting group for action on that matter.

(b) Presence of Shares. Once a share is represented for any purpose at a meeting, other than for the purpose of objecting to holding the meeting or transacting business at the meeting, it is considered present for purposes of determining whether a quorum exists for the remainder of the meeting and for any adjournment of that meeting unless a new record date is or must be set for the adjourned meeting.

(c) Adjournment in Absence of Quorum. Where a quorum is not present, the holders of a majority of the shares represented and who would be entitled to vote at the meeting if a quorum were present may adjourn such meeting from time to time.

Section 3.10 Voting of Shares. Except as provided in the Articles of Incorporation or the Act, each outstanding share, regardless of class, is entitled to one vote on each matter voted on at a meeting of shareholders.

Section 3.11 Vote Required.

(a) Matters Other Than Election of Directors. If a quorum exists, except in the case of the election of directors, action on a matter shall be approved if the votes cast favoring the action exceed the votes cast opposing the action, unless the Act or the Articles of Incorporation require a greater number of affirmative votes.

(b) Election of Directors. Each shareholder who is entitled to vote at an election of directors has the right to vote the number of shares owned by him or her for as many persons as there are directors to be elected. Shareholders do not have a right to cumulate their votes for

-5-

 


 

directors. At any meeting of shareholders at which directors are to be elected, when a quorum is present: (i) each nominee in an uncontested election shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes cast with respect to that director’s election; and (ii) in a contested election, the nominees receiving a plurality of the votes cast shall be elected. For purposes of this section, (A) a “contested election” means the number of nominees exceeds the number of directors to be elected in such election; (B) an “uncontested election” means the number of nominees equals the number of directors to be elected in such election; (C) a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50% of the number of votes cast with respect to that director’s election; votes cast shall include votes to withhold authority or votes against, in each case as applicable, and shall exclude abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to that director’s election; and (D) a “plurality of the votes cast” means that the nominees for director receiving the greatest number of shares voted “for” such director’s election, up to the number of directors to be elected, shall be elected as directors, even if such nominees do not receive a majority of the votes cast.

Section 3.12 Conduct of Meeting. The Chairman of the Board of Directors, and in his or her absence, the Lead Director (if any), and in his or her absence, the Vice Chairman (if any), and in his or her absence, the President, and in his or her absence, a Vice President in the order provided under the Section of these bylaws titled “Vice Presidents,” and in their absence, any person chosen by the shareholders present shall call a shareholders’ meeting to order and shall act as presiding officer of the meeting, and the Secretary of the corporation shall act as secretary of all meetings of the shareholders, but, in the absence of the Secretary, the presiding officer may appoint any other person to act as secretary of the meeting. The presiding officer of the meeting shall have broad discretion in determining the order of business at a shareholders’ meeting. The presiding officer’s authority to conduct the meeting shall include, but in no way be limited to, recognizing shareholders entitled to speak, calling for the necessary reports, stating questions and putting them to a vote, calling for nominations, and announcing the results of voting. The presiding officer also shall take such actions as are necessary and appropriate to preserve order at the meeting. The rules of parliamentary procedure need not be observed in the conduct of shareholders’ meetings; however, meetings shall be conducted in accordance with accepted usage and common practice with fair treatment to all who are entitled to take part.

Section 3.13 Inspectors of Election. Inspectors of election may be appointed by the Board of Directors to act at any meeting of shareholders at which any vote is taken. If inspectors of election are not so appointed, the presiding officer of the meeting may, and on the request of any shareholder shall, make such appointment. The inspectors of election shall determine the number of shares outstanding, the voting rights with respect to each, the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum, and the authenticity, validity, and effect of proxies; receive votes, ballots, consents, and waivers; hear and determine all challenges and questions arising in connection with the vote; count and tabulate all votes, consents, and waivers; determine and announce the result; and do such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all shareholders. No inspector, whether appointed by the Board of Directors or by the person acting as presiding officer of the meeting, need be a shareholder.

Section 3.14 Proxies.

-6-

 


 

(a) Appointment. At all meetings of shareholders, a shareholder or attorney- in-fact for a shareholder may vote the shareholder’s shares in person or by proxy. If an appointment form expressly provides, any proxy holder may appoint, in writing, a substitute to act in his or her place. A shareholder or attorney-in-fact for a shareholder may appoint a proxy to vote or otherwise act for the shareholder by signing an appointment form or by electronic transmission. Any type of electronic transmission appearing to have been, or containing or accompanied by such information or obtained under such procedures to reasonably ensure that the electronic transmission was, transmitted or authorized by such person is a sufficient appointment, subject to the verification requested by the corporation under Section 3.17 of these bylaws and Section 607.0724, Florida Statutes. The appointment may be signed by any reasonable means, including, but not limited to, facsimile or electronic signature. Any copy, facsimile transmission or other reliable reproduction of the writing or electronic transmission of the appointment may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or electronic transmission for any purpose for which the original writing or electronic transmission could be used if the copy, facsimile transmission or other reproduction is a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or electronic transmission.

(b) When Effective. An appointment of a proxy is effective when received by the Secretary or other officer or agent of the corporation authorized to tabulate votes. An appointment is valid for up to eleven months unless a longer period is expressly provided in the appointment form. An appointment of a proxy is revocable by the shareholder unless the appointment form conspicuously states that it is irrevocable and the appointment is coupled with an interest.

Section 3.15 Advance Notice of Shareholder Business and Nominations.

(a) Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

(i) At any annual meeting of shareholders, only such nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors shall be made, and only such other business shall be conducted or considered, as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For nominations to be properly made at an annual meeting, and proposals of other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting, nominations and proposals of other business must be: (i) specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; (ii) otherwise properly made at the annual meeting, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (iii) otherwise properly requested to be brought before the annual meeting by a shareholder of the corporation in accordance with these bylaws. For nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors or proposals of other business to be properly requested by a shareholder to be made at an annual meeting, a shareholder must: (A) be a shareholder of record at the time of the giving of notice of such annual meeting by or at the direction of the Board of Directors and at the time of the annual meeting; (B) be entitled to vote at such annual meeting; and (C) comply with the procedures set forth in these bylaws as to such business or nomination. Subject to Section 3.18 hereof, this Section 3.15(a) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or other business proposals (other than matters properly brought under Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act and included in the corporation’s notice of meeting) before an annual meeting of shareholders.

-7-

 


 

(ii) Without qualification or limitation, for any nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder pursuant to these bylaws, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof (including, in the case of nominations, the completed and signed questionnaire, representation and agreement required by Section 3.15(e) of these bylaws), and timely updates and supplements thereof, in each case in proper form, in writing to the Secretary, and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for shareholder action.

(iii) In addition to such shareholder complying with the applicable provision of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act, to be timely, a shareholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day and not later than the close of business on the ninetieth (90th) prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is more than thirty (30) days before or more than sixty (60) days after such anniversary date, notice by the shareholder must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the one hundred and twentieth (120th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date of such annual meeting or, if the first public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is less than one hundred (100) days prior to the date of such annual meeting, the tenth (10th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall any adjournment, recess or postponement of an annual meeting of which notice of the meeting has already been given to shareholders or with respect to which a public announcement has been made, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

(iv) Notwithstanding anything in Section 3.15(a)(iii) to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors is increased by the Board of Directors, and there is no public announcement by the corporation naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors at least one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice required by this Section 3.15(a) shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the corporation.

(b) Special Meetings of Shareholders.

(i) At any special meeting of shareholders, only such nominations of individuals for election to the Board of Directors shall be made, and only such other business shall be conducted or considered, as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. To be properly brought before a special meeting, proposals of business must be (A) specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; (B) otherwise properly brought before the special meeting, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (C) otherwise properly requested to be brought before the special meeting by a shareholder of the corporation in accordance with these bylaws; provided, however, that nothing herein shall prohibit the Board of Directors from submitting additional matters to shareholders at any such special meeting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these bylaws, a special meeting requested by shareholders shall not be held if: (A) the Board of Directors has called or calls for an annual meeting of shareholders to be held within ninety (90) days after the request for the special meeting is delivered to or received by the Secretary of the Corporation and the Board of Directors determines in good faith that the business of such annual meeting includes (among any other matters properly brought before the annual meeting) an item of business (other than the election of directors) that is identical or substantially similar (a “Similar Item”) to an item of business included in such request, (B) the business conducted at the most recent annual meeting, or at any special meeting held within one year prior to receipt of such request, included (among any other matters properly brought before such meeting) a Similar Item or (C) such request is delivered between the sixty-first (61st) day and the three-hundred-sixty-fifth (365th) day after the earliest date of signature on an effective request for a special meeting that has been delivered to the Chair of the Board of Directors or the Secretary of the Corporation relating to a Similar Item. This Section 3.15(b) shall be the exclusive means for a shareholder to make nominations or other business proposals at a special meeting of shareholder.

(ii) Without qualification or limitation, for any business to be properly requested to be brought by a shareholder before a special meeting of the shareholders pursuant to these bylaws, the shareholder must have given timely notice thereof and timely updates and supplements thereof, in each case, in proper form, in writing to the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation, and such business must otherwise be a proper matter for shareholder action. Subject to Section 3.15(c)(iv) of these bylaws, in the event the corporation calls a special meeting of shareholders for the purpose of electing one or more directors to the Board of Directors, any shareholder may nominate an individual or individuals (as the case may be) for election to such position(s) as specified in the corporation’s notice of meeting; provided that the shareholder gives timely notice thereof

In no event shall any adjournment, recess or postponement of a special meeting of shareholders, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for the giving of a shareholder’s notice as described above.

(iv) In addition, to be considered timely, a shareholder’s notice shall further be updated and supplemented, if necessary, so that the information provided or required to be provided in such notice shall be true and correct as of the record date for the meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof, and such update and supplement shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal office of the corporation not later than five (5) days prior to the date of the meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) days prior to the meeting or any adjournment, recess or postponement thereof. The obligation to update and supplement as set forth in this paragraph or any other Section of these bylaws shall not limit the corporation’s rights with respect to any deficiencies in any notice provided by a shareholder, extend any applicable deadlines hereunder or enable or be deemed to permit a shareholder who has previously submitted notice hereunder to amend or update any proposal or to submit any new proposal, including by changing or adding nominees, matters, business and or resolutions proposed to be brought before a meeting of the shareholders.

-14-

 


 

shall be signed and dated by the holders of outstanding stock entitled to vote thereon having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted. Such consents must be delivered to the principal office of the corporation in Florida, the corporation’s principal place of business, the Secretary, or another officer or agent of the corporation having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded. No written consent shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless, within sixty days of the date of the earliest dated consent delivered in the manner required herein, written consents signed by the number of holders required to take action are delivered to the corporation by delivery as set forth in this Section.

(b) Revocation of Written Consents. Any written consent may be revoked prior to the date that the corporation receives the required number of consents to authorize the proposed action. No revocation is effective unless in writing and until received by the corporation at its principal office in Florida or its principal place of business, or received by the Secretary or other officer or agent having custody of the books in which proceedings of meetings of shareholders are recorded.

(c) Notice to Nonconsenting Shareholders. Within ten days after obtaining such authorization by written consent, notice must be given in writing to those shareholders who have not consented in writing or who are not entitled to vote on the action. The notice shall fairly summarize the material features of the authorized action and, if the action be such for which dissenters’ rights are provided under the Act, the notice shall contain a clear statement of the right of shareholders dissenting therefrom to be paid the fair value of their shares upon compliance with the provisions of the Act regarding the rights of dissenting shareholders.

(d) Same Effect as Vote at Meeting. A consent signed under this Section has the effect of a meeting vote and may be described as such in any document. Whenever action is taken by written consent pursuant to this Section, the written consent of the shareholders consenting thereto or the written reports of inspectors appointed to tabulate such consents shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of shareholders.

Section 3.17 Acceptance of Instruments Showing Shareholder Action. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment corresponds to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, may accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of a shareholder. If the name signed on a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment does not correspond to the name of a shareholder, the corporation, if acting in good faith, may accept the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment and give it effect as the act of the shareholder if any of the following apply:

(a) The shareholder is an entity and the name signed purports to be that of an officer or agent of the entity;

(b) The name signed purports to be that of a administrator, executor, guardian, personal representative, or conservator representing the shareholder and, if the corporation requests, evidence of fiduciary status acceptable to the corporation is presented with respect to the vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment;

(e) Two or more persons are the shareholder as cotenants or fiduciaries and the name signed purports to be the name of at least one of the co-owners and the person signing appears to be acting on behalf of all co-owners.

The corporation may reject a vote, consent, waiver, or proxy appointment if the Secretary or other officer or agent of the corporation who is authorized to tabulate votes, acting in good faith, has reasonable basis for doubt about the validity of the signature on it or about the signatory’s authority to sign for the shareholder.

Section 3.18 Proxy Access Rights.

(a) Proxy Access.

In order for an Eligible Shareholder to nominate a Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section, the Eligible Shareholder’s Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must be received by the Secretary of the corporation at its principal executive office not less than 120 days prior to the anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the prior year’s annual meeting of shareholders (the “Deadline”); provided, however, that in the event the annual meeting is scheduled to be held on a date more than thirty (30) days before the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting or more than sixty (60) days after the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, the Deadline shall be the close of business on the later of (x) the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day prior to the scheduled date of such annual meeting or (y) the fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made by the corporation. In no event shall an adjournment, recess, postponement or rescheduling of any previously scheduled meeting of shareholders, or the public announcement thereof, commence a new time period for the giving of a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination under this Section.

(ii) In order to nominate a Shareholder Nominee pursuant to this Section, an Eligible Shareholder providing the information required to be provided pursuant to Section 3.18(a)(ii) within the time period specified in Section 3.18(b)(i) for delivering the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination must further update and supplement such information, if necessary, so that all such information provided or required to be provided shall be true and correct as of the record date for purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to vote at such annual meeting and as of the date that is ten (10) business days prior to such annual meeting, and such update and supplement (or a written notice stating that there are no such updates or supplements) must be delivered in writing to the Secretary of the corporation at its principal executive office not later than the close of business on the fifth (5th) business day after the record date for purposes of determining the shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of the record date), and not later than the close of business on the eighth (8th) business day prior to the date for the meeting (in the case of the update and supplement required to be made as of ten (10) business days prior to the meeting).

(c) Maximum Number of Shareholder Nominees.

(i) The maximum number of Shareholder Nominees (including Shareholder Nominees that were submitted by an Eligible Shareholder for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section but that were either subsequently withdrawn or that the Board of Directors decides to nominate as Board of Director nominees) nominated by all Eligible Shareholders that will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting shall not exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the number of directors in office (rounded down to the nearest whole number) as of the last day on which a Notice of Proxy Access Nomination may be timely delivered pursuant to and in accordance with this Section (the “Final Proxy Access Nomination Date”); provided that the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees that will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials with respect to an annual meeting will be reduced by the number of individuals that the Board of Directors decides to nominate for re-election who were previously elected to the Board of Directors based on a nomination pursuant to Section 3.15 or this Section.

(ii) Any Eligible Shareholder submitting more than one Shareholder Nominee for inclusion in any proxy statement at any meeting for the election of directors, and any associated form of proxy pursuant to this Section shall rank such Shareholder Nominees based on the order that the Eligible Shareholder desires such Shareholder Nominees to be selected for inclusion in such proxy statement and associated form of proxy in the event that the total number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section exceeds the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in Section 3.18(c)(i) (including by operation of Section 3.18(c)(iii)). In the event that the number of Shareholder Nominees submitted by Eligible Shareholders pursuant to this Section exceeds the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in Section 3.18(c)(i) (including by operation of Section 3.18(c)(iii)), the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section from each Eligible Shareholder will be selected for inclusion in the corporation’s proxy materials until the maximum number is reached, going in order from the largest to the smallest of such Eligible Shareholders based on the number of shares of common stock of the corporation each Eligible Shareholder disclosed as owned in the Notice of Proxy Access Nomination submitted to the corporation hereunder. If the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in this Section is not reached after the highest ranking Shareholder Nominee who meets the requirements of this Section from each Eligible Shareholder has been selected, this selection process will continue as many times as necessary, following the same order each time, until the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees provided for in this Section is reached. The Shareholder Nominees so selected by each Eligible Shareholder in accordance with this Section 3.18(c)(ii) will be the only Shareholder Nominees entitled to be included in the corporation’s proxy materials, and, following such selection, if the Shareholder Nominees so selected are not included in the corporation’s proxy materials or are not submitted for election (for any reason, including the failure to comply with this Section), no other Shareholder Nominees will be included in the corporation’s proxy materials or otherwise submitted for shareholder election pursuant to this Section.

(iii) If for any reason one or more vacancies occur on the Board of Directors after the Final Proxy Access Nomination Date but before the date of the applicable annual meeting and the Board of Directors resolves to reduce the size of the Board of Directors in connection therewith, the maximum number of Shareholder Nominees included in the corporation’s proxy materials pursuant to this Section shall be calculated based on the number of directors in office as so reduced.

(d) Shareholder Eligibility.

(i) For purposes of this Section, an Eligible Shareholder shall be deemed to “own” only those outstanding shares of common stock of the corporation as to which the Eligible Shareholder possesses both (A) the full voting and investment rights pertaining to the shares and (B) the full economic interest in (including the opportunity for profit from and risk of loss on) such shares; provided that the number of shares calculated in accordance with clauses (A) and (B) (x) shall not include any shares (I) borrowed for any purposes or purchased pursuant to an agreement to resell, (II) sold in any transaction that has not been settled or closed, and (y) shall be reduced by the notional amount of shares of common stock of the corporation subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such shareholder, whether or not any such instrument is to be settled with shares or with cash, to the extent not already taken into account in clause (x)(II) above and a number of shares of common stock of the corporation equal to the net “short” position in the common stock of the corporation held by such shareholder’s affiliates, whether through short sales, options, warrants, forward contracts, swaps, contracts of sale, other derivatives or similar agreements or any other agreement or arrangement, or (III) subject to any option, warrant, forward contract, swap, contract of sale, other derivative or similar agreement entered into by such shareholder or any of its affiliates, whether any such instrument or agreement is to be settled with shares or with cash based on the notional amount or value of shares of outstanding common stock of the corporation, in any such case which instrument or agreement has, or is intended to have, the purpose or effect of (1) reducing in any manner, to any extent or at any time in the future, such shareholder’s or its affiliates’ full right to vote or direct the voting of any such shares and/or (2) hedging, offsetting or altering to any degree any gain or loss realized or realizable from maintaining the full economic ownership of such shares by such shareholder or affiliate. A shareholder shall “own” shares held in the name of a nominee or other intermediary so long as the shareholder retains the right to instruct how the shares are voted with respect to the election of directors and possesses the full economic interest in the shares. A shareholder’s ownership of shares shall be deemed to continue during any period in which the shareholder has delegated any voting power by means of a proxy, power of attorney or other instrument or arrangement which is revocable at any time by the shareholder. The terms “owned,” “owning” and other variations of the word “own” shall have correlative meanings. Whether outstanding shares of the common stock of the corporation are “owned” for these purposes shall be determined by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. For purposes of this Section, the term “affiliate” or “affiliates” shall have the meaning ascribed thereto under the General Rules and Regulations of the Exchange Act.

The Board of Directors may authorize any officer or officers, or any agent or agents to enter into any contract or execute or deliver any instrument in the name of and on behalf of the corporation, and such authorization may be general or confined to specific instances. In the absence of other designation, all deeds, mortgages, and instruments of assignment or pledge made by the corporation shall be executed in the name of the corporation by the Chairman, the President, one of the Managing Directors or one of the Vice Presidents; the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, when necessary or required, shall attest and affix the corporate seal, if any, thereto; and when so executed no other party to such instrument or any third party shall be required to make any inquiry into the authority of the signing officer or officers.

Article 7

Certificates for Shares; Transfer of Shares

Section 7.1 Consideration for Shares. The Board of Directors may authorize shares to be issued for consideration consisting of any tangible or intangible property or benefit to the corporation, including cash, promissory notes, services performed, promises to perform services evidenced by a written contract, or other securities of the corporation. Before the corporation issues shares, the Board of Directors shall determine that the consideration received or to be received for the shares to be issued is adequate. The determination of the Board of Directors is conclusive insofar as the adequacy of consideration for the issuance of shares relates to whether the shares are validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable. The corporation may place in escrow shares issued for future services or benefits or a promissory note, or make other arrangements to restrict the transfer of the shares, and may credit distributions in respect of the shares against their purchase price, until the services are performed, the note is paid, or the benefits are received. If the services are not performed, the note is not paid, or the benefits are not received, the corporation may cancel, in whole or in part, the shares escrowed or restricted and the distributions credited.

Section 7.2 Certificates for Shares. Every holder of shares in the corporation shall be entitled to have a certificate representing all shares to which he or she is entitled unless the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of some or all shares without certificates. Any such authorization shall not affect shares already represented by certificates until the certificates are surrendered to the corporation. If the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of any shares without certificates, within a reasonable time after the issue or transfer of any such shares, the corporation shall send the shareholder a written statement of the information required by the Act or the Articles of Incorporation to be set forth on certificates, including any restrictions on transfer. Certificates representing shares of the corporation shall be in such form, consistent with the Act, as shall be determined by the Board of Directors. Such certificates shall be signed (either manually or in facsimile) by the Chairman, the President, any Managing Director or any Vice President or any other persons designated by the Board of Directors and may be sealed with the seal of the corporation or a facsimile thereof. All certificates for shares shall be consecutively numbered or otherwise identified. The name and address of the person to whom the shares represented thereby are issued, with the number of shares and date of issue, shall be entered on the stock transfer books

-32-

 


 

of the corporation. Unless the Board of Directors authorizes shares without certificates, all certificates surrendered to the corporation for transfer shall be canceled and no new certificate shall be issued until the former certificate for a like number of shares shall have been surrendered and canceled, except as provided in these bylaws with respect to lost, destroyed, or stolen certificates. The validity of a share certificate is not affected if a person who signed the certificate (either manually or in facsimile) no longer holds office when the certificate is issued.

Section 7.3 Transfer of Shares. Prior to due presentment of a certificate for shares for registration of transfer, the corporation may treat the registered owner of such shares as the person exclusively entitled to vote, to receive notifications, and otherwise to have and exercise all the rights and power of an owner. Where a certificate for shares is presented to the corporation with a request to register a transfer, the corporation shall not be liable to the owner or any other person suffering loss as a result of such registration of transfer if (a) there were on or with the certificate the necessary endorsements, and (b) the corporation had no duty to inquire into adverse claims or has discharged any such duty. The corporation may require reasonable assurance that such endorsements are genuine and effective and compliance with such other regulations as may be prescribed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors.

Section 7.4 Restrictions on Transfer. The face or reverse side of each certificate representing shares shall bear a conspicuous notation as required by the Act or the Articles of Incorporation of the restrictions imposed by the corporation upon the transfer of such shares.

Section 7.5 Lost, Destroyed, or Stolen Certificates. Unless the Board of Directors authorizes shares without certificates, where the owner claims that certificates for shares have been lost, destroyed, or wrongfully taken, a new certificate shall be issued in place thereof if the owner (a) so requests before the corporation has notice that such shares have been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, (b) files with the corporation a sufficient indemnity bond if required by the Board of Directors or any principal officer, and (c) satisfies such other reasonable requirements as may be prescribed by or under the authority of the Board of Directors.

Section 7.6 Stock Regulations. The Board of Directors shall have the power and authority to make all such further rules and regulations not inconsistent with law as they may deem expedient concerning the issue, transfer, and registration of shares of the corporation.

Article 10

Indemnification

Section 10.1 Provision of Indemnification. The corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted or required by the Act, including any amendments thereto (but in the case of any such amendment, only to the extent such amendment permits or requires the corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than prior to such amendment), indemnify its Directors and Officers against any and all Liabilities, and advance any and all Expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses), incurred thereby in connection with any Proceeding to which any such Director or Officer is a Party or in which such Director or Officer is deposed or called to testify as a witness because he or she is or was a Director or Officer of the corporation, whether or not such person continues to serve in such capacity at the time the obligation to indemnify against Liabilities or advance Expenses is incurred or paid. The rights to indemnification granted hereunder shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to indemnification against Liabilities or the advancement of Expenses which a Director or Officer may be entitled under any written agreement, Board resolution, vote of shareholders, the Act, or otherwise. The corporation may, but shall not be required to, supplement the foregoing rights to indemnification against Liabilities and advancement of Expenses by the purchase of insurance on behalf of any one or more of its Directors or Officer whether or not the corporation would be obligated to indemnify or advance Expenses to such Director or Officer under this Article. For purposes of this Article, the term

All other capitalized terms used in this Article and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in Section 607.0850, Florida Statutes (2003). The provisions of this Article are intended solely for the benefit of the indemnified parties described herein, their heirs and personal representatives and shall not create any rights in favor of third parties. No amendment to or repeal of this Article shall diminish the rights of indemnification provided for herein to any person who serves or served as a Director or Officer at any time prior to such amendment or repeal.

Article 11

Amendments

Section 11.1 Power to Amend. These bylaws may be amended or repealed by either the Board of Directors or the shareholders, unless the Act reserves the power to amend these bylaws generally or any particular bylaw provision, as the case may be, exclusively to the shareholders or unless the shareholders, in amending or repealing these bylaws generally or any particular bylaw provision, provide expressly that the Board of Directors may not amend or repeal these bylaws or such bylaw provision, as the case may be.

Article 12

Opt-Out of Florida Control-Share Acquisition Statute

Section 12.1 Opt-Out. Notwithstanding any other provision of the corporation’s articles of incorporation or these bylaws, Section 607.0902 of the Florida Statutes also known as the Control-Share Acquisition Statute of the Act (or any successor statute) shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of stock of the corporation.

If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the preceding sentence is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Florida, County of Duval (a “Foreign Action”), in the name of any shareholder, such shareholder shall be deemed to have consented to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Florida, County of Duval, in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the preceding sentence and (ii) having service of process made upon such shareholder in any such action by service upon such shareholder’s counsel in the Foreign Action as agent for such shareholder.
