On December 28, 2017, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gazit-Globe Ltd. (the “Gazit Shareholder”) entered into a pre-arranged trading plan to sell a portion of its equity holdings in Regency Centers Corporation (the “Company”). Mr. Chaim Katzman, the non-executive Vice Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the Chairman of Gazit-Globe Ltd.

The trading plan is designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Company’s insider trading policy. Using these types of plans, insiders can sell securities over an extended period of time, while complying with insider trading laws.

Under the trading plan, the Gazit Shareholder may sell up to 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in the aggregate. Sales of these shares by the Gazit Shareholder may occur during specified periods between January 2018 and April 2018, unless terminated sooner in accordance with the trading plan’s terms. All sales of shares under the trading plan are subject to certain minimum price conditions and maximum sale volume limitations.

Transactions under this plan will be reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission in accordance with applicable securities laws, rules and regulations. The Company does not undertake to report any modifications or termination of this plan, except to the extent required by law.
