Certain statements in this report may be “forward-looking statements.” These statements are based on the current beliefs of Regency Centers and are subject to numerous risks, uncertainties and changes in circumstances, some of which may be unknown today. These statements are not guarantees of future results, goal achievement or outcomes. Similarly, statements about our goals, objectives and targets to positively impact climate and environmental-related issues, such as emission-reduction roadmaps and targets to drive toward net zero and other emissions and climate-related goals, are also forward-looking statements. Actual results, achievement of goals and financial condition may differ materially from those anticipated or expected from or represented by these statements due to a variety of factors, including, among others, socio-demographic and economic trends, energy prices, the pace, cost and effectiveness of technological innovations, climate-related conditions and weather events, legislative and regulatory changes and other unforeseen events or conditions, the potential impacts of climate change on our business and our ability to mitigate them, and reference is made to the precautionary statements and risk factors included in Regency Centers’ filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), including the Risk Factors disclosed in Item 1A of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, and subsequent quarterly filings. Any forward-looking statements made by or on behalf of Regency Centers speak only as to the date they are made, and Regency Centers does not undertake to update forward-looking statements to reflect the impact of circumstances or events that arise after the date the forward-looking statements were made. In addition, while this report describes potential future events that may be significant, the significance of those potential events should not be read as equating to materiality as the concept is used in Regency Centers’ filings with the SEC.
