Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the September 30, 2013 consolidated balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.

On October 23, 2013, the Company sold 100% of its interest in the BRET unconsolidated real estate partnership and received a capital distribution of $47.5 million, its share of the undistributed income of the partnership, and a redemption premium. Regency no longer has any interest in the BRET partnership.

In October 2013, the Company entered into two additional forward-starting interest rate swaps for $95.0 million of notional value at a combined fixed rate of 2.867% for a ten year period effective April 15, 2014, to hedge potential changes in the ten-year LIBOR rate covering the expected borrowing term between now and the expected date that new unsecured borrowings are obtained in 2014.
