EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Registrant is filing this Amendment No. 1 to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007 (the “Form 10-K”) to amend Item 6 to correct the ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the years ended December 31, 2006, 2005, 2004, and 2003 as well as to revise Item 15 to incorporate into the Form 10-K the audited combined financial statements of Regency Retail Partners, a significant fifty percent-or-less owned person accounted for by the equity method by the Registrant, which is required to be filed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X. The financial statements of Regency Retail Partners were not available at the time the Registrant filed its Form 10-K on February 29, 2008.

The Registrant has amended the Form 10-K to provided a currently-dated consent from KPMG LLP, which is required to be filed by the SEC pursuant to Item 601(b)(23) of Regulation S-K.

Pursuant to the rules of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) Rule 12b-15, the Registrant has also amended the Form 10-K to provide currently-dated certifications from the Registrant’s chief executive officer, chief financial officer, and chief operating officer, as required by Exchange Act Rule 13a-14(a) or Rule 15d-14(a), as adopted under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, and Section 1350 of Title 18 of the United States Code, as adopted under Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

Except for the correction to the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, the filing of the financial statements under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, the revised consent, and the revised certifications, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend the Registrant’s previously filed Form 10-K.
