ASU 2017-05, February 2017, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"). The objective of Topic 606 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. It will supersede most of the existing revenue guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principal of this new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying Topic 606, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized.

Topic 606 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB's accounting standards codification. As a result, Topic 606 does not apply to revenue from lease contracts until the adoption of the new leases standard, Topic 842, in January 2019.

ASU 2017-05 clarifies that ASC 610-20 applies to all nonfinancial assets (including real estate) for which the counterparty is not a customer and requires an entity to derecognize a nonfinancial asset in a partial sale transaction when it ceases to have a controlling financial interest in the asset and has transferred control of the asset. Once an entity transfers control of the nonfinancial asset, the entity is required to measure any noncontrolling interest it receives or retains at fair value. Under the current guidance, a partial sale is recognized and carryover basis is used for the retained interest resulting in only partial gain recognition by the entity, however, the new guidance eliminates the use of carryover basis and generally requires the full gain be recognized.

The standard allows for either "full retrospective" adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all of the periods presented, or "modified retrospective" adoption, meaning the standard is applied only to the most recent period presented in the financial statements.

January 2018

The majority of the Company's revenue originates from lease contracts and will be subject to Topic 842 to be adopted in January 2019. Upon the adoption of the new leases standard, certain recoveries from tenants may become subject to the revenue standard, which may have a different recognition pattern or presentation than under current GAAP.

Beyond revenue from lease contracts, the Company's other main revenue streams, include:

- Management, transaction and other fees from the Company's real estate partnerships, primarily in the form of property management fees, asset management fees, and leasing commission fees. The Company evaluated all partnership fee relationships and does not currently expect any changes in the timing of revenue recognition from these revenue streams.

- Sales of real estate assets will be accounted for under Subtopic 610-20, which provides for revenue recognition based on transfer of control. For property sales where Regency has no continuing involvement, there should be no change to the Company's timing of recognition. For property sales in which Regency has continuing involvement, full gain recognition may be required, where gains may have been deferred under existing GAAP. Upon adoption of ASU 2017-05, some of the Company's $33 million of previously deferred gains from property sales to entities in which Regency had continuing involvement will remain deferred and be recognized in the future, while some will be recognized through opening retained earnings.

The Company is still analyzing the disclosure requirements and intends to follow the modified retrospective method of adoption, applying the standard to only 2018, and not restating prior periods presented in future financial statements.

EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, 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 September 30, 2017, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.8% of the Units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining limited Units are owned by 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 the $500 million of unsecured public and private placement debt assumed with the Equity One merger on March 1, 2017, the Parent Company does not have any other indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is also the co-issuer and guarantees the debt of the Parent Company. 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. Although the Parent Company is the issuer of the combined $500 million of unsecured public and private notes, the Operating Partnership is a co-issuer and guarantor of these notes. 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.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017


1.	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 engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company has no other assets other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership, and its only liabilities are the unsecured notes assumed from the merger with Equity One, Inc. ("Equity One"), which are co-issued and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

On March 1, 2017, Regency completed its merger with Equity One, whereby Equity One merged with and into Regency, with Regency continuing as the surviving public company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Equity One stockholder received 0.45 of a newly issued share of Regency common stock for each share of Equity One common stock owned immediately prior to the effective time of the merger, resulting in the issuance of approximately 65.5 million shares of Regency common stock to effect the merger.

As of September 30, 2017, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis owned 313 retail shopping centers and held partial interests in an additional 114 retail shopping centers 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.

Consolidation

The Company consolidates properties that are wholly owned and properties where it owns less than 100%, but which it controls. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of voting interest entities and variable interest entities ("VIEs"). For joint ventures that are determined to be a VIE, the Company consolidates the entity where it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company's determination of the primary beneficiary considers all relationships between it and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements.

Ownership of the Operating Partnership

The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. As of September 30, 2017, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership with the remaining limited Partnership Units held by third parties (“Exchangeable operating partnership units” or “EOP units”). 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.

Segment Reporting

The Company's business is investing in retail shopping centers through direct ownership or through joint ventures. The Company actively manages its portfolio of retail shopping centers and may from time to time make decisions to sell lower performing properties not meeting its long-term investment objectives. The proceeds from sales are reinvested into higher quality retail shopping centers, through acquisitions or new developments, which management believes will generate sustainable revenue growth and attractive returns. It

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

is management's intent that all retail shopping centers will be owned or developed for investment purposes. The Company's revenues and net income are generated from the operation of its investment portfolio. The Company also earns fees for services provided to manage and lease retail shopping centers owned through joint ventures.

The Company's portfolio is located throughout the United States. Management does not distinguish or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital. The Company reviews operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis; therefore, the Company defines an operating segment as its individual properties. The individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the centers, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance.

Goodwill

Goodwill, which is included within Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, represents the excess of the purchase price consideration for the Equity One merger over the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and reflects expected synergies from combining Regency's and Equity One's operations. The Company accounts for goodwill in accordance with the Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Topic of the FASB ASC, and allocates its goodwill to the reporting units, which have been determined to be at the individual property level. The Company will perform an impairment evaluation of its goodwill at least annually, in November of each year. The goodwill impairment evaluation may be completed through a qualitative or quantitative approach.

Under a qualitative approach, the impairment review for goodwill consists of an assessment of whether it is more-likely-than-not that the property’s fair value is less than its carrying value. If a qualitative approach indicates it is more likely-than-not that the estimated carrying value of a property exceeds its fair value, or if the Company chooses to bypass the qualitative approach for any property, the Company will perform the quantitative approach described below.

The first step of the quantitative approach consists of estimating the fair value of each property using discounted projected future cash flows and comparing those estimated fair values with the carrying values, which include the allocated goodwill. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the amount of the impairment, if any, by determining an implied fair value of goodwill. The determination of each property’s implied fair value of goodwill requires allocation of the estimated fair value of the property to its assets and liabilities. Any unallocated fair value represents the implied fair value of goodwill which is compared to its corresponding carrying value.

Real Estate Partnerships

As of September 30, 2017, Regency has an ownership interest in 125 properties through partnerships, of which 11 are consolidated. Our partners in these ventures include institutional investors, other real estate developers and/or operators, and individual parties who help Regency source transactions for development and investment (the "Partners" or "limited partners"). Regency has a variable interest in these entities through its equity interests. As managing member, Regency maintains the books and records and typically provides leasing and property management to the partnerships. The partners’ level of involvement varies from protective decisions (debt, bankruptcy, selling primary asset(s) of business) to involvement in approving leases, operating budgets, and capital budgets.


•	Those partnerships for which the Partners only have protective rights are considered VIEs under ASC 810, Consolidation. Regency is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as Regency has power over these partnerships and they operate primarily for the benefit of Regency. As such, Regency consolidates these entities and reports the limited partners’ interest as noncontrolling interests.

The operations of the VIEs are funded with cash flows generated by the properties, or in the case of developments, with capital contributions or third party construction loans. Regency does not provide financial support to the VIEs beyond the terms stipulated in the partnership operating agreements.


•	Those partnerships for which the partners are involved in the day to day decisions and do not have any other aspects that would cause them to be considered VIEs, are evaluated for consolidation using the voting interest model.

◦	Those partnerships in which Regency has a controlling financial interest are consolidated and the limited partners’ ownership interest and share of net income is recorded as noncontrolling interest.

◦

Those partnerships in which Regency does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method, and its ownership interest is recognized through single-line presentation as Investments in real estate partnerships in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and Equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Cash distributions of earnings from operations of investments in real estate partnerships are presented in cash flows provided by operating activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Cash distributions from the sale of a property or loan proceeds received from the placement of debt on a property included in investments in real estate partnerships are presented in cash flows provided by investing activities in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The net difference in the carrying amount of investments in real estate partnerships and the underlying equity in net assets is either (1) accreted to income and recorded in Equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations over the expected useful lives of the properties and other intangible assets, which range in lives from 10 to 40 years, or (2) recognized upon sale of the underlying asset(s) or settlement of underlying liabilities, or (3) recognized at liquidation if the joint venture agreement includes a unilateral right to elect to dissolve the real estate partnership and, upon such an election, receive a distribution in-kind.

The assets of the partnerships are restricted to the use of the partnerships and cannot be used as security by general creditors of the Company. And similarly, the obligations of the partnerships can only be settled by the assets of the partnerships.

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

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements and expected impact on our financial statements:



Standard	Description	Date of adoption	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
Recently adopted:
ASU 2016-09, March 2016, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting	This ASU affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The ASU is designed to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize stock compensation forfeitures as they occur, and changes to classification on the statement of cash flows.	January 2017	The adoption of this standard resulted in the reclassification of income taxes withheld on share-based awards out of operating activities into financing activities on the Statement of Cash Flows. As retrospective application was required for this component of the ASU, $8.0 million was reclassified on the Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2016.

ASU 2017-01 January 2017, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business	This ASU amends and provides a screen to determine when an integrated set of assets and activities, collectively referred to as a "set", is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. If the screen is not met, the amendments in this update (1) require that to be considered a business, a set must include, at a minimum, an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to create output and (2) remove the evaluation of whether a market participant could replace missing elements. The amendments provide a framework to assist entities in evaluating whether both an input and a substantive process are present. Early adoption is permitted.	July 2017	This standard changed the treatment of individual operating properties from being considered a business to being considered an asset. This change results in acquisition costs being capitalized as part of asset acquisitions, whereas previous treatment had them recognized in earnings in the period incurred. The Company adopted this standard effective July 1, 2017.

Not yet adopted:
ASU 2017-04, January 2017, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment	This ASU simplifies how an entity tests goodwill for impairment by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Step 2 measures a goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under this update, the Company will perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. The Company would then recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit.	October 2017	The Company plans to early adopt this ASU on October 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU will not have a material impact on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

September 30, 2017



Standard	Description	Date of adoption	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
ASU 2017-12, August 2017, Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities	This ASU provides updated guidance to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The transition guidance provides companies with the option of early adopting the new standard using a modified retrospective transition method in any interim period after issuance of the update, or alternatively requires adoption for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. This adoption method will require the Company to recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the ASU as an adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income with a corresponding adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings as of the beginning of the fiscal year that an entity adopts the update.	January 2018	The Company plans to early adopt this ASU on January 1, 2018. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts of the standard, it currently does not expect the adoption and implementation of this standard to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2016-01, January 2016, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities	This ASU amends the guidance to classify equity securities with readily-determinable fair values into different categories and requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. Equity investments accounted for under the equity method are not included in the scope of this amendment. Early adoption of this amendment is not permitted.	January 2018	The Company does not expect the adoption and implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

ASU 2016-15, August 2016, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments	This ASU makes eight targeted changes to how cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. Early adoption is permitted on a retrospective basis.	January 2018	The ASU is consistent with the Company's current treatment and the Company does not expect the adoption and implementation of this standard to have an impact on its cash flow statement.

ASU 2016-18, November 2016, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash	This ASU requires entities to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash, and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented.	January 2018	The Company expects the adoption of this ASU to result in a change to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash on its cash flow statement, which is not expected to be material. There should be no change to the Company's financial condition or results of operations.

Equity One Merger

General

On March 1, 2017, Regency completed its merger with Equity One, a NYSE listed shopping center company, whereby Equity One merged with and into Regency, with Regency continuing as the surviving public company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Equity One stockholder received 0.45 of a newly issued share of Regency common stock for each share of Equity One common stock owned immediately prior to the effective time of the merger resulting in approximately 65.5 million Regency common shares being issued to effect the merger.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

The following table provides the components that make up the total purchase price for the Equity One merger:



(in thousands, except stock price)	Purchase Price
Shares of common stock issued for merger	65,379
Closing stock price on March 1, 2017	$	68.40
Value of common stock issued for merger	$	4,471,808
Debt repaid	716,278
Other cash payments	5,019
Total purchase price	$	5,193,105

As part of the merger, Regency acquired 121 properties, including 8 properties held through co-investment partnerships. The consolidated net assets and results of operations of Equity One are included in the consolidated financial statements from the closing date, March 1, 2017, going forward and resulted in the following impact to Revenues and Net income attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017:



		September 30, 2017
(in thousands)		Three months ended	Nine months ended
Increase in total revenues	$	102,437	238,250
Increase in net income attributable to common stockholders		23,517	52,981

The Company incurred $1.2 million and $75.6 million of merger-related transaction costs during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, which are recorded in Other operating expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no such merger costs incurred during the same periods of 2016.

Provisional Purchase Price Allocation of Merger

The Equity One merger has been accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, Business Combinations, which requires, among other things, that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their acquisition date fair values.

The acquired assets and assumed liabilities of an acquired operating property generally include, but are not limited to: land, buildings and improvements, identified tangible and intangible assets and liabilities associated with in-place leases, including tenant improvements, leasing costs, value of above-market and below-market leases, and value of acquired in-place leases. This methodology requires estimating an “as-if vacant” fair value of the physical property, which includes land, building, and improvements and also determining the estimated fair value of identifiable intangible assets and liabilities, considering the following categories: (i) value of in-place leases, and (ii) above and below-market value of in-place leases. The excess of the purchase price consideration over the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed results in goodwill in the business combination, which reflects expected synergies from combining Regency's and Equity One's operations. The goodwill is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

The provisional fair market value of the acquired operating properties is based on a valuation prepared by Regency with assistance of a third party valuation specialist. The third party used stabilized NOI and market specific capitalization and discount rates as the primary inputs in determining the fair value of the real estate assets. Management reviewed the inputs used by the third party specialist as well as the allocation of the purchase price to ensure reasonableness and that the procedures were performed in accordance with management's policy. Management and the third party valuation specialist have prepared their provisional fair value estimates for each of the operating properties acquired, but are still in process of reviewing all of the underlying inputs and assumptions; therefore, the purchase price and its allocation, in their entirety, are not yet complete as of the date of this filing but have been updated to reflect management's current best estimates of fair values as of the acquisition date . Once the purchase price and allocation are complete, an additional adjustment to the purchase price or allocation may occur.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

The following table summarizes the current provisional purchase price allocation based on the Company's valuation, including estimates and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed:



(in thousands)	Provisional Purchase Price Allocation
Land	$	2,914,790
Building and improvements	2,699,937
Properties in development	68,744
Properties held for sale	19,600
Investments in unconsolidated real estate partnerships	103,566
Real estate assets	5,806,637

Notes payable	757,399
Accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities	121,441
Lease intangible liabilities	609,807
Total liabilities assumed	1,488,647

Total purchase price	$	5,193,105

During the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company adjusted the provisional purchase price allocation to reflect current best estimates of fair values of the acquired operating properties, based on the valuation process described above. These adjustments resulted in the following increases (decreases) to earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2017 that would have been recognized in previous periods if the adjustments to provisional amounts were recognized as of the acquisition date:



(in thousands)	Three months ended September 30, 2017
decrease in Minimum rent	$	(567	)
decrease in Depreciation and amortization	1,645
decrease in Operating and maintenance	142
Net increase to earnings of provisional purchase price allocation adjustments	$	1,220

The allocation of the purchase price is based on management’s assessment, which may change in the future as more information becomes available. Subsequent adjustments made to the purchase price allocation upon completion of the Company's fair value assessment process will not exceed one year from the acquisition date. The allocation of the purchase price described above requires a significant amount of judgment and represents management's best estimate of the fair value as of the acquisition date.

•	$300.0 million of 4.4% senior unsecured public notes due in 2047, which priced at 99.110%. The Company used the net proceeds to redeem all of the outstanding shares of its $250 million 6.625% Series 6 preferred stock on February 16, 2017 and to pay down the balance of the Line.


•	$350.0 million of 3.6% senior unsecured public notes due in 2027, which priced at 99.741%. The Company used the net proceeds to repay a $250.0 million Equity One term loan upon the effective date of the merger and to pay merger related transaction costs.

During June 2017, the Company issued an additional $300.0 million of senior unsecured public notes under the same terms as the January offering noted above as follows:


•	$125.0 million of 4.4% senior unsecured public notes due in 2047, which priced at 100.784%, with proceeds used to redeem all of the outstanding shares of its $75.0 million 6.000% Series 7 preferred stock on August 23, 2017, with the balance used to pay down the Line.


•	$175.0 million of 3.6% senior unsecured public notes due in 2027, which priced at 100.379%, with proceeds used to retire $112.0 million of mortgage loans with interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 7.8% on various properties, with the balance used to pay down the Line.

The Company completed the following additional debt transactions in connection with the Equity One merger:


•	Increased the size of its Line commitment to $1.0 billion with an accordion feature permitting the Company to request an increase in the facility of up to an additional $500 million.

•

Completed a $300 million unsecured term loan that matures on December 2, 2020 with the option to prepay at par anytime prior to maturity without penalty. The interest rate on the term loan is equal to LIBOR plus a ratings based margin; however, the Company entered into interest rate swaps to fix the interest rate on the entire $300 million with a weighted average interest rate of 1.824% (see note 5). The proceeds of the term loan were used to repay a $300 million Equity One term loan that came due as a result of the merger.


•	Assumed $300 million of senior unsecured public notes with an interest rate of 3.75% maturing in 2022.


•	Assumed $200 million of the senior unsecured private placement notes issued in two $100 million tranches with interest rates of 3.81% and 3.91%, respectively, maturing in 2026.

5. Derivative Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments, as well as their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:



							Fair Value
	(in thousands)						Assets (Liabilities)⁽¹⁾

Total derivative financial instruments							$	9,019		11,042

⁽¹⁾ Derivatives in an asset position are included within Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, while those in a liability position are included within Accounts payable and other liabilities.

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 September 30, 2017, does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. The Company has master netting agreements;

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

however, the Company does not have multiple derivatives subject to a single master netting agreement with the same counterparties. Therefore, none are offset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings within Interest expense, in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The following table represents the effect of the derivative financial instruments on the accompanying consolidated financial statements:



Derivatives in FASB ASC Topic 815 Cash Flow Hedging Relationships:	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative (Effective Portion)					Location and Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income (Effective Portion)

Interest rate swaps	$	(3,911	)	(25,338	)	Interest expense	$	(8,054	)	(48,063	)

As of September 30, 2017, the Company expects $9.1 million of net deferred losses on derivative instruments in Accumulated other comprehensive loss, including the Company's share from its Investments in real estate partnerships, to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months. Included in the reclassification is $8.4 million which is related to previously settled swaps on the Company's ten year fixed rate unsecured loans.

6. 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:



	September 30, 2017			December 31, 2016
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Notes receivable	$	13,984	13,869	$	10,481	10,380
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable	$	2,943,986	3,027,557	$	1,363,925	1,435,000
Unsecured credit facilities	$	578,144	580,000	$	278,495	279,700

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 September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. 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

September 30, 2017

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.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments:

Notes Receivable

The fair value of the Company's Notes receivable is estimated by calculating the present value of future contractual cash flows discounted at interest rates available for notes of the same terms and maturities, adjusted for counter-party specific credit risk. The fair value of Notes receivable was determined primarily using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, which considered counter-party credit risk and collateral risk of the underlying property securing the note receivable.

Notes Payable

The fair value of the Company's unsecured debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value of the unsecured debt was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company's mortgage notes payable is estimated by discounting future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect the current market rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms and maturities. Fixed rate loans assumed in connection with real estate acquisitions are recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value at the time the property is acquired. The fair value of the mortgage notes payable was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Unsecured Credit Facilities

The fair value of the Company's Unsecured credit facilities is estimated based on the interest rates currently offered to the Company by financial institutions. The fair value of the credit facilities was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The following interest rate ranges were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments:



	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016
	Low	High	Low	High
Notes receivable	3.5%	7.4%	7.2%	7.2%
Notes payable	3.1%	3.7%	2.9%	3.9%
Unsecured credit facilities	1.7%	2.2%	1.5%	1.6%

(b) Fair Value Measurements

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

Trading Securities Held in Trust

The Company has investments in marketable securities, which are assets of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan ("NQDCP"), that are classified as trading securities and included within Other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the trading securities held in trust was determined using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of trading securities are recorded within net investment (income) loss from deferred compensation plan in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Available-for-Sale Securities

Available-for-sale securities consist of investments in certificates of deposit and corporate bonds, and are recorded at fair value using matrix pricing methods to estimate fair value, which are considered Level 2

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on these 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.

The following tables present the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is involved in litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims, which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is 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.

After the announcement of the merger agreement with Equity One on November 14, 2016, a putative class action was filed on behalf of a purported stockholder in the Circuit Court for Duval County, Florida, under the following caption: Robert Garfield on Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated vs. Regency Centers Corporation, Martin E. Stein, Jr., John C. Schweitzer, Raymond L. Bank, Bryce Blair, C. Ronald Blankenship, J. Dix Druce, Jr., Mary Lou Fiala, David P. O'Connor, and Thomas G. Wattles, No. 16-2017-CA-000688-XXXX-MA, filed February 3, 2017.

The class action alleged, among other matters, that the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by Regency and Equity One with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 24, 2017 (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) omitted certain material information in connection with the merger. The complainant sought various remedies, including injunctive relief to prevent the consummation of the merger unless certain allegedly material information was disclosed and sought compensatory and rescissory damages in the event the merger was consummated without such disclosures.

On February 17, 2017, the defendants entered into a stipulation of settlement with respect to the class action, pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, that Regency would make certain supplemental disclosures. The supplemental disclosures were made by Regency in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Regency with the SEC on February 17, 2017. The stipulation of settlement remains subject to court approval.

Environmental

The Company is also subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to real estate pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. 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 the shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contaminants or liabilities, that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to it, 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

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2017

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. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral on behalf of its captive insurance program and to facilitate the construction of development projects. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had $5.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

In addition to historical information, the following information contains forward-looking statements as defined under federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements about anticipated changes in our revenues, the size of our development and redevelopment program, earnings per share and unit, returns and portfolio value, and expectations about our liquidity. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the real estate industry and markets in which the Company operates, and management's beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, our ability to successfully integrate the business of Equity One successfully and realize the anticipated synergies and related benefits of our merger with Equity One, changes in national and local economic conditions, financial difficulties of tenants, competitive market conditions, including timing and pricing of acquisitions and sales of properties and building pads ("out-parcels"), changes in leasing activity and market rents, timing of development starts, meeting development schedules, natural disasters in geographic areas in which we operate, cost of environmental remediation, our inability to exercise voting control over the co-investment partnerships through which we own many of our properties, and technology disruptions. For additional information, see “Risk Factors” included here in and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. appearing elsewhere herein. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or uncertainties after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of uncertain events.

Defined Terms

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 Company's operational results. We manage our entire real estate portfolio without regard to ownership structure, although certain decisions impacting properties owned through partnerships require partner approval. Therefore, we believe presenting our pro-rata share of certain operating metrics regardless of ownership structure, along with other non-GAAP measures, makes comparisons of other REITs' operating results to the Company's more meaningful. 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.

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


•	Same Property information is provided for retail operating properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar year periods being compared and excludes Non-Same Properties and Properties in Development.


•	A Non-Same Property is a property acquired, sold, or a development completion during either calendar year period being compared. Non-retail properties and corporate activities, including activities of our captive insurance company, are part of Non-Same Property.


•	Property In Development includes land or properties in various stages of development and redevelopment including active pre-development activities.


•	Development Completion is a project in development that is deemed complete upon the earliest of: (i) 90% of total estimated net development costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95%, or (ii) the project

features at least two years of anchor operations, or (iii) three years have passed since the start of construction. Once deemed complete, the property is termed a retail operating property.


•	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.

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 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 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:


•	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 or allocating noncontrolling interests, and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and


•	Other companies in our industry may calculate their pro-rata interests 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.


•	Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, real estate gains and losses, development and acquisition pursuit costs, straight line rental income, and above and below market rent amortization.


•	Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders plus dividends paid to our preferred stockholders.

•

Net Operating Income ("NOI") is the sum of minimum rent, percentage rent and recoveries from tenants and other income, less operating and maintenance, real estate taxes, and provision for doubtful accounts. NOI excludes straight-line rental income and expense, above and below market rent amortization and other fees. The Company also provides disclosure of NOI excluding termination fees, which excludes both termination fee income and expenses.

•

NAREIT Funds from Operations ("NAREIT FFO") is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, net of tax, excluding operating real estate impairments, 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. Many 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 and losses from depreciable property dispositions, and impairments, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, 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. The Company provides a reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Stockholders to NAREIT FFO.

•

Core FFO is an additional performance measure used by Regency as the computation of NAREIT FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect the Company's period-over-period performance. Core FFO excludes from NAREIT FFO: (a) transaction related income or expenses; (b) impairments on land; (c) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; and (d) other non-comparable amounts as they occur. The Company provides a reconciliation of NAREIT FFO to Core FFO.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers began its operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993, and, as of September 30, 2017, had full or partial ownership interests in 427 retail properties primarily anchored by market leading grocery stores. Our properties are principally located in affluent and infill trade areas of the United States, and contain 54.1 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., our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through our co-investment partnerships; however, $500 million of unsecured public and private placement debt is held by the Parent Company, which it assumed through the merger with Equity One.

As of September 30, 2017, the Parent Company owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

Our mission is to be the preeminent national shopping center owner, operator and developer. Our strategy is to:

•

Own and manage an unequaled portfolio of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers anchored by market leading grocers and located in affluent suburban and near urban trade areas in the country’s most desirable metro areas. This combination produces highly desirable and attractive centers with best-in-class retailers. These centers command higher rental and occupancy rates resulting in excellent prospects to grow net operating income ("NOI");


•	Maintain an industry leading and disciplined development and redevelopment platform to deliver exceptional retail centers at higher margins as compared to acquisitions;


•	Support our business activities with a strong balance sheet; and


•	Engage a talented, dedicated team of employees, who are guided by Regency’s special culture and aligned with shareholder interests.

Key goals to achieve our strategy are to:


•	Sustain superior same property NOI growth compared to our shopping center peers;


•	Develop and redevelop high quality shopping centers at attractive returns on investment;


•	Maintain a conservative balance sheet providing financial flexibility to cost effectively fund investment opportunities and debt maturities on a favorable basis, and to weather economic downturns;


•	Attract and motivate an exceptional team of employees who operate efficiently and are recognized as industry leaders; and


•	Generate reliable growth in earnings per share, funds from operations per share, and most importantly total shareholder returns that consistently rank among the leading shopping center REITS.

Executing on our Strategy

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017:

We had Net income attributable to common stockholders of $74.8 million, net of $75.6 million of merger costs, as compared to $88.0 million during the nine months ended 2016.

We completed the merger with Equity One on March 1, 2017 and acquired 121 properties for $5.2 billion, further enhancing the quality of our operating portfolio of retail shopping centers.

We sustained superior same property NOI growth compared to the average of our shopping center peers:


•	We achieved pro-rata same property NOI growth, excluding termination fees, of 4.0%.


•	We executed 1,308 leasing transactions representing 4.6 million pro-rata SF of new and renewal leasing, with trailing twelve month rent spreads of 9.4% on comparable retail operating property spaces.


•	At September 30, 2017, our total property portfolio was 95.3% leased, while our same property portfolio was 96.1% leased.

We developed and redeveloped high quality shopping centers at attractive returns on investment:


•	We started three new developments representing a total investment of $159.0 million upon completion, with projected weighted average returns on investment of 7.1%.


•	Including these new projects, a total of 30 properties were in the process of development or redevelopment, representing a pro-rata investment upon completion of $598.0 million.

We maintained a conservative balance sheet providing financial flexibility to cost effectively fund investment opportunities and debt maturities:


•	In January 2017, we issued $300.0 million of 4.4% senior unsecured notes due February 1, 2047, the proceeds of which were used to redeem all of the $250.0 million 6.625% Series 6 preferred stock and reduce the balance of the Line.


•	On March 1, 2017 in conjunction with the merger with Equity One, we increased the commitment amount of our line of credit to $1.0 billion.


•	In June 2017, we issued an additional $125.0 million of 4.4% senior unsecured notes due February 1, 2047, the proceeds of which were used to redeem the $75.0 million of 6.0% Series 7 preferred stock on August 23, 2017, and to repay the line balance.


•	Also in June 2017, the Company issued an additional $175.0 million of 3.6% senior unsecured public notes due in 2027, with proceeds used to retire $112.0 million of mortgage loans with interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 7.8% on various properties, with the balance used to pay down our line.


•	At September 30, 2017, our annualized net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio on a pro-rata basis was 5.4x.

Equity One Merger

On March 1, 2017, Regency completed its merger with Equity One, whereby Equity One merged with and into Regency, with Regency continuing as the surviving public company. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, each Equity One stockholder received 0.45 of a newly issued share of Regency common stock for each share of Equity One common stock owned immediately prior to the effective time of the merger resulting in approximately 65.5 million shares being issued to effect the merger. The following table provides the components that make up the total purchase price for the Equity One merger:



(in thousands, except stock price)	Purchase Price
Shares of common stock issued for merger	65,379
Closing stock price on March 1, 2017	$	68.40
Value of common stock issued for merger	$	4,471,808
Debt repaid	716,278
Other cash payments	5,019
Total purchase price	$	5,193,105

As part of the merger, Regency acquired 121 properties representing 16.0 million SF of GLA, including 8 properties held through co-investment partnerships. The consolidated net assets and results of operations of Equity One are included in the consolidated financial statements from the closing date, March 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017.

Weighted average annual effective rent PSF, net of tenant concessions	$20.33	$19.25

For the purpose of the following disclosures of occupancy and leasing activity, "anchor space" is considered space greater than or equal to 10,000 SF and "shop space" is less than 10,000 SF. The following table summarizes pro-rata occupancy rates of our combined Consolidated and Unconsolidated shopping center portfolio:



	September 30, 2017	December 31, 2016
% Leased – Operating	95.7%	96.0%
Anchor space	97.7%	97.8%
Shop space	92.3%	93.1%

The decline in shop space percent leased is due to the merger with Equity One, which had lower shop space occupancy than Regency.

Bankruptcies and Credit Concerns

Our management team devotes significant time to researching and monitoring retail trends, consumer preferences, customer shopping behaviors, changes in retail delivery methods, and changing demographics in order to anticipate the challenges and opportunities impacting the retail industry. Certain segments of the retail industry face reductions in sales and increased bankruptcies amid stronger competition from e-commerce. A greater shift to e-commerce, large-scale retail business failures, unemployment, and tight credit markets could negatively impact consumer spending and have an adverse effect on our results of operations. We seek to mitigate these potential impacts through tenant diversification, re-tenanting weaker tenants with stronger operators, anchoring our centers with market leading grocery stores that drive foot traffic, and maintaining a presence in affluent suburbs and dense infill trade areas. As a result of our research and findings, we may reduce new leasing, suspend leasing, or curtail allowances for construction of leasehold improvements within a certain retail category or to a specific retailer in order to reduce our risk from bankruptcies and store closings.

We closely monitor the operating performance and rent collections of tenants in our shopping centers as well as those retailers experiencing significant changes to their business models as a result of reduced customer traffic in their stores and increased competition from e-commerce sales. Retailers who are unable to withstand these and other business pressures may file for bankruptcy. Although base rent is supported by 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. 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. Tenants who have filed for bankruptcy and continue to occupy space in our shopping centers represent an aggregate of 0.5% of our annual base rent on a pro-rata basis.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2017 to 2016:

Our revenues increased as summarized in the following table:

Changes in our operating expenses are summarized in the following table:



	Three months ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2017		2016	Change
Depreciation and amortization	$	91,474	40,705	50,769

•	$1.4 million increase from properties acquired through the Equity One merger;


•	reduced by $266,000 primarily due to acquisition costs incurred in the second quarter of 2016.

The following table presents the components of other expense (income):



	Three months ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2017			2016		Change
Interest expense, net
Interest on notes payable	$	31,577		19,828		11,749
Interest on unsecured credit facilities	3,974			1,556		2,418
Capitalized interest	(2,488		)	(857	)	(1,631	)

Loss on derivative instruments	—			40,586		(40,586	)
Total other expense (income)	$	33,708		75,653		(41,945	)

The $12.7 million net increase in total interest expense is due to:


•	$11.7 million net increase in interest on notes payable from:


◦	$7.6 million of additional interest on notes payable assumed with the Equity One merger; and


◦	$9.4 million increase from issuances of $950 million of new unsecured debt;


◦	offset by $3.1 million decrease in mortgage interest expense primarily due to the payoff of nine mortgages utilizing proceeds from the June 2017 debt offering; and


◦	$2.1 million decrease due to the early redemption of our $300 million notes in the third quarter of 2016;


•	$2.4 million increase in interest on unsecured credit facilities related to higher average balances including a new $300 million term loan which closed on March 1, 2017;


•	offset by $1.6 million decrease from higher capitalization of interest based on the size and progress of development and redevelopment projects in process.

In connection with the early redemption of the $300 million notes during the three months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a $13.9 million charge, including a $13.2 million make-whole premium and $700,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs.

During the three months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a $40.6 million charge to settle $220 million of forward starting interest rate swaps related to debt previously expected to be issued in 2017 to repay our $300 million notes due June 2017.

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

Total equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships		$	12,220	22,647	(10,427	)

The $10.4 million decrease in our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships is largely attributed to a decrease in the gains on sale of real estate within Other investments partially offset by an increase in gains within USAA.

The following represents the remaining components that comprised net income attributable to the common stockholders and unit holders:

The following table presents the components of other expense (income):



	Nine months ended September 30,

Total other expense (income)	$	106,734		125,416		(18,682	)

The $26.8 million net increase in total interest expense is due to:


•	$23.6 million net increase in interest on notes payable due to:


◦	$18.3 million of additional interest on notes payable assumed with the Equity One merger; and


◦	$20.5 million increase from issuances of $950 million of new unsecured debt;


◦	offset by $4.3 million decrease in mortgage interest expense primarily due to the payoff of nine mortgages utilizing proceeds from the June 2017 debt offering; and


◦	$10.9 million decrease due to the early redemption of our $300 million notes in the third quarter of 2016;


•	$6.9 million increase in interest on unsecured credit facilities related to higher average balances including a new $300 million term loan which closed on March 1, 2017;


•	offset by $3.2 million decrease from higher capitalization of interest based on the size and progress of development and redevelopment projects in process.

We did not recognize any impairments for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a $1.7 million impairment loss on one operating property and one parcel of land that have since been sold.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we repaid nine mortgages with a portion of the proceeds from our unsecured public debt offering in June 2017, and recognized $12.4 million of debt extinguishment costs. In connection with the early redemption of the $300 million notes during the three months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a $13.9 million charge, including a $13.2 million make-whole premium and $700,000 of unamortized debt issuance costs.

Net investment income increased $1.7 million, driven by gains within the non-qualified deferred compensation plan.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized a $40.6 million charge to settle $220 million of forward starting interest rate swaps related to debt previously expected to be issued in 2017.

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



		Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands)	Ownership	2017		2016	Change
GRI - Regency, LLC (GRIR)	40.00%	$	20,791	23,975	(3,184	)

Other investments in real estate partnerships	20.00% - 50.00%	2,283		15,940	(13,657	)
Total equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships		$	33,804	46,618	(12,814	)

The $12.8 million decrease in our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships is largely attributed to:


•	$3.2 million decrease within GRIR driven by gains on sale of real estate that were recognized in 2016, offset by lower depreciation expense in 2017 related to assets that became fully depreciated in 2016;


•	$1.2 million decrease within Columbia II due to gains on sale of real estate that were recognized in 2016;


•	$3.5 million increase within USAA due to gains on sale of real estate recognized in 2017; and


•	$13.7 million decrease in Other investments in real estate partnerships due to gains on sale of real estate recognized in 2016.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, we sold one operating property and seven land parcels resulting in gains of $4.9 million, compared to gains of $23.0 million from the sale of seven operating properties and twelve land parcels during the same period in 2016.

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 Company's operating results. We manage our entire real estate portfolio without regard to ownership structure, although certain decisions impacting properties owned through partnerships require partner approval. Therefore, we believe presenting our pro-rata share of operating results regardless of ownership structure, along with other non-GAAP measures, may assist in comparing the Company's 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 "Defined Terms" at the beginning of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

Pro-Rata Same Property NOI:

For purposes of evaluating same property NOI on a comparative basis, and in light of the merger with Equity One on March 1, 2017, we are presenting our same property NOI on a pro forma basis as if the merger had occurred January 1, 2016. This perspective allows us to evaluate same property NOI growth over a comparable period. The pro forma same property NOI is not necessarily indicative of what the actual same property NOI and growth would have been if the merger had occurred on January 1, 2016, nor does it purport to represent the same property NOI and growth for future periods.

Our pro-rata same property NOI, as adjusted, excluding termination fees, grew from the following major components:

⁽¹⁾ Adjusted for Equity One operating results prior to the merger for these periods. For additional information and details about the Equity One operating results included herein, refer to the Same Property NOI Reconciliation at the end of the Supplemental Earnings section.

Base rent increased $6.9 million and $19.5 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, driven by increases in rental rate growth on new and renewal leases and contractual rent steps from anchor leases, minimally offset by a slight decrease in the percentage of leases that have rent commenced.

Recovery revenue increased $2.3 million and $6.9 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, as a result of increases in recoverable costs, as noted below, and improvements in recovery rates.

Other income increased $0.8 million during the three months ended September 30, 2017 and decreased $0.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, due to the timing of lease termination fees and other fee income.

Operating expenses increased $3.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primarily due to higher real estate taxes.

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. We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt or equity, to repay maturing debt, or fund our capital commitments.

Except for the $500 million of unsecured public and private placement debt assumed with the Equity One merger on March 1, 2017, 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 on the 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. Based upon our available 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.

In addition to its $23.5 million cash balance, the Company has the following additional sources of capital available:

⁽³⁾ The Company has the option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods.

We operate our business such that we expect net cash provided by operating activities will provide the necessary funds to pay our distributions to our common and preferred share and unit holders, which were $238.3 million and $165.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We currently do not have any preferred shares issued and outstanding. Our dividend distribution policy is set by our Board of Directors, who monitors our financial position. Our Board of Directors recently declared our common stock dividend of $0.53 per share, payable on November 29, 2017. Future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be subject to capital requirements and availability. 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.

During the next twelve months, we estimate that we will require approximately $300 million of cash, including $261.9 million to complete in-process developments and redevelopments, and $38.1 million to repay maturing debt. If we start new developments, redevelop additional shopping centers, or commit to new acquisitions, our cash requirements will increase. If we refinance maturing debt, our cash requirements will decrease. To meet our cash requirements, we may utilize cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of real estate, available borrowings from our Line, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity or the issuance of new long-term debt.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. At September 30, 2017, 86.6% 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 annualized coverage ratio, including our pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 4.1 times and 3.3 times for the periods ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

Our Line, term loans, and unsecured notes 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, 2016. The debt assumed in conjunction with the Equity One merger contain covenants that are consistent with our existing debt covenants. We are in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2017 and expect to remain in compliance.

Total cash and cash equivalents	$	23,543		40,902		(17,359	)

Net cash provided by operating activities:

•	$132.1 million increase in cash from operating income; and,


•	$1.1 million increase in operating cash flow distributions from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships; offset by


•	$14.7 million net decrease in cash due to timing of cash receipts and payments related to operating activities.

Significant changes in investing activities include:


•	Other than those included with the merger, we acquired two real estate parcels at existing operating properties for $2.1 million during 2017 compared to $333.2 million for three operating properties in the same period in 2016.


•	We issued 65.5 million common shares to the shareholders of Equity One valued at $4.5 billion in a stock for stock exchange and merged Equity One into the Company on March 1, 2017. As part of the merger, we paid $648.8 million, net of cash acquired, to repay Equity One credit facilities not assumed with the merger.


•	We invested $95.1 million more in 2017 than the same period in 2016 on real estate development and capital improvements, as further detailed in a table below.


•	We received proceeds of $15.4 million from the sale of seven land parcels and one operating property in 2017, compared to $83.7 million for seven shopping centers and twelve land parcels in the same period in 2016.


•	We invested $12.3 million in our real estate partnerships during 2017 to fund our share of maturing mortgage debt and redevelopment activity, compared to $13.1 million during the same period in 2016.

•

Distributions from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships include return of capital from sales or financing proceeds. The $36.6 million received in 2017 is driven by the sale of two operating properties and one land parcel plus our share of proceeds from refinancing certain operating properties within the partnerships. During the same period in 2016, we received $52.5 million from the sale of nine shopping centers within the partnerships.


•	Acquisition of securities and proceeds from sale of securities pertain to investments held in our captive insurance company and our deferred compensation plan.

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping shopping centers for long-term investment. We deployed capital of $241.8 million for the development, redevelopment, and improvement of our real estate properties, comprised of the following:



	Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2017		2016	Change
Capital expenditures:
Land acquisitions for development / redevelopment	$	22,748	8,654	14,094
Building and tenant improvements	31,130		19,393	11,737
Redevelopment costs	103,395		35,695	67,700
Development costs	65,688		71,067	(5,379	)
Capitalized interest	5,778		2,622	3,156
Capitalized direct compensation	13,095		9,342	3,753
Real estate development and capital improvements	$	241,834	146,773	95,061


•	During 2017 we acquired three land parcels for new development projects as compared to one land parcel acquired during 2016.


•	Building and tenant improvements increased $11.7 million in 2017, materially related to the overall increase in the size of our portfolio from the merger with Equity One in March 2017.

•

Redevelopment expenditures are higher in 2017 due to the timing, magnitude, and number of projects currently in process at existing centers and in process projects acquired from Equity One. We intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansion, new out-parcel building construction, and tenant improvement costs. The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan.


•	Development expenditures are higher in 2017 due to the progress towards completion of our development projects currently in process. At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had eight and six development projects, respectively, that were either under construction or in lease up. 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 development 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.

•

We have a staff of employees who directly support our development and redevelopment programs. Internal compensation costs directly attributable to these activities are capitalized as part of each project. Changes in the level of future development and redevelopment activity could adversely impact results of operations by reducing the amount of internal costs for development and redevelopment projects that may be capitalized. A 10% reduction in development and redevelopment activity without a corresponding reduction in development related compensation costs could result in an additional charge to net income of $1.5 million per year.

Net cash provided by financing activities	$	525,079		133,297		391,782

Significant financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 include the following:


•	We raised $549.5 million during 2016 by


◦	issuing 182,787 shares of common stock through our ATM program at an average price of $68.85 per share resulting in net proceeds of $12.3 million,


◦	issuing 1,850,000 shares under our forward equity offering at an average price of $74.32 per share resulting in proceeds of $137.5 million, and


◦	issuing 5,000,000 shares of common stock at $79.78 per share resulting in net proceeds of $400.1 million.


•	We repurchased for cash a portion of the common stock related to stock based compensation to satisfy employee federal and state tax withholding requirements. The repurchases increased $11.2 million in 2017 due to the vesting of Equity One's stock based compensation program as a result of the merger.


•	We redeemed all of the issued and outstanding shares of our 6.625% Series 6 and 6.000% Series 7 cumulative redeemable preferred stock on February 16, 2017 and August 23, 2017, respectively, for $325.0 million.


•	Net distributions to consolidated partnerships increased $3.9 million primarily due to excess proceeds from property refinancings during 2017.


•	As a result of the common shares issued during 2016 and common shares issued as merger consideration during 2017, combined with an increase in our quarterly dividend rate, our dividend payments increased $73.2 million.


•	We received $300.0 million in proceeds upon closing a new term loan and used the funds to repay a $300.0 million Equity One term loan that became due upon merger.


•	We issued $1.1 billion of debt in 2017 related to the following activity:

In January and June, we issued $650.0 million and $300.0 million of senior unsecured public notes, respectively. The notes are in two tranches of which $425.0 million is due in 2047 and $525.0 million is due in 2027. The January proceeds of $648.0 million were used to redeem all of our $250.0 million Series 6 preferred stock and to repay Equity One's $250.0 million term loan and Equity One's outstanding Line balance upon the effective date of the merger.

A portion of the June proceeds of $305.1 million was used to retire approximately $112.0 million of loans secured by mortgages with interest rates ranging from 7.0% to 7.8% on various properties and to reduce the outstanding balance on the Line. We used the remainder of the proceeds to redeem all of our $75.0 million Series 7 preferred stock in August and for general corporate purposes.

We received proceeds of $122.5 million from mortgage loans and $4.5 million from development construction draws, all within consolidated real estate partnerships.


•	We paid $252.7 million to repay or refinance mortgage loans and pay scheduled principal payments as compared to $359.3 million in 2016.


•	In connection with the new debt issued above, the expansion of our Line commitment, and assumption of mortgages from Equity One, we incurred $12.9 million of loan costs.

Total	$	84,175	1,413,919		19,635	1,517,729		521,504

At September 30, 2017, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.5 billion maturing through 2031, of which 98.7% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.6%. The remaining notes payable float over LIBOR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 2.7%. These notes payable are all non-recourse, and our pro-rata share was $521.5 million as of September 30, 2017. 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 Consolidated Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. We believe that the tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we use all legal means to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to more environmentally friendly systems. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state-sponsored environmental programs. 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 placed environmental insurance, where possible, on 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 September 30, 2017 we and our Investments in real estate partnerships had accrued liabilities of $9.7 million for our pro-rata share of environmental remediation. We believe that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations; however, we can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contaminants and liabilities; 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.

Inflation/Deflation

Inflation has been historically low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation may become a greater concern in the near future. Substantially all of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their pro-rata share of operating expenses, including common-area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. However, during deflationary periods or periods of economic weakness, minimum rents and percentage rents typically decline as the supply of available retail space exceeds demand and consumer spending declines. Occupancy declines resulting from a weak economic period will also likely result in lower recovery rates of our operating expenses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

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, 2016.

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.

On March 1, 2017, we completed the Merger with Equity One, whereby Equity One merged with and into the Parent Company with the Parent Company continuing as the surviving corporation. As permitted by SEC guidance for newly acquired businesses, we excluded Equity One from our assessment of internal control over financial reporting, which represented total assets acquired of $6.7 billion (approximately 60% of Company's Total assets) as of September 30, 2017. We are in the process of integrating Equity One's operations into our internal control structure. None of these integration activities are expected to have a material impact on our system of internal control over financial reporting.

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 third quarter of 2017 and that 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.

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.

After the announcement of the merger agreement on November 14, 2016, a putative class action was filed on behalf of a purported stockholder in the Circuit Court for Duval County, Florida, under the following caption: Robert Garfield on Behalf of Himself and All Others Similarly Situated vs. Regency Centers Corporation, Martin E.

Wattles, No. 16-2017-CA-000688-XXXX-MA, filed February 3, 2017.

The class action alleged, among other matters, that the definitive joint proxy statement/prospectus filed by Regency and Equity One with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on January 24, 2017 (the “Joint Proxy Statement/Prospectus”) omitted certain material information in connection with the Merger. The complainant sought various remedies, including injunctive relief to prevent the consummation of the Merger unless certain allegedly material information was disclosed and sought compensatory and rescissory damages in the event the Merger was consummated without such disclosures.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

The following represent new, emerging or updated risk factors, and should be read together with the risk factors disclosed in item 1A. of Part I of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016:

Risks Relating to Our Industry and Real Estate Investments

The integration of bricks and mortar stores with e-commerce retailers may have an adverse impact on our revenue and cash flow.

The recent announcement of the proposed merger of Amazon.com with Whole Foods Market, Inc has highlighted the increasing impact of e-commerce on retailers and the shopping habits of retail customers. Although no definite conclusions can be made at this time, these trends may also have an impact on decisions that retailers make regarding their bricks and mortar stores. Changes in shopping trends as a result of the growth in e-commerce may also impact the profitability of retailers that do not adapt to changes in market conditions. These conditions could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows if we are unable to meet the needs of our tenants or if our tenants encounter financial difficulties as a result of changing market conditions.
