Item 1.01   Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

     On February 23, 2006, CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (the "Company") and
the other  parties  thereto  completed  the  execution  of an  amendment,  to be
effective  as of  January  1,  2006,  to  that  certain  Voting  and  Standstill
Agreement,  effective as of  September  25,  2000,  between the  Company,  CBL &
Associates Limited  Partnership,  a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating
Partnership"); certain of the Company's principals (Charles B. Lebovitz, Stephen
D.  Lebovitz,  John N. Foy, and CBL & Associates,  Inc.,  collectively  the "CBL
Parties");  Jacobs Realty  Investors  Limited  Partnership,  a Delaware  limited
partnership  ("JRI");  Richard E.  Jacobs,  solely as Trustee for the Richard E.
Jacobs Revocable Living Trust ("REJ'"); Richard E. Jacobs, solely as Trustee for
the David H. Jacobs  Marital  Trust  ("DHJ" and  together  with REJ, the "Jacobs
Trusts"); and Martin J. Cleary ("Cleary").

     The Voting and  Standstill  Agreement,  the terms of which are described in
more detail under the heading  "Certain Terms of the Jacobs  Acquisition" in the
Company's  Proxy  Statement  dated  April 1, 2005,  was  originally  executed in
connection with the Company's  acquisition of a portfolio of properties from JRI
and certain of its  affiliates  and partners.  It is the  agreement  pursuant to
which JRI  currently  is entitled to nominate  two  designees  as members of the
Board.  Martin J. Cleary and Gary L.  Bryenton  are the  current  members of the
Company's Board of Directors who were nominated as JRI designees pursuant to the
Voting and Standstill Agreement.

     The sole purpose of the amendment is to release and remove Martin J. Cleary
as a party to the  Voting  and  Standstill  Agreement,  and does not  alter  the
agreement in any other respect. Following the amendment,  neither Mr. Cleary nor
Mr. Bryenton are parties to the Voting and Standstill Agreement.
