Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On May 13, 2015, Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), as Borrower, and Regency Centers Corporation (the “Company”), as Guarantor, amended its existing $800 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Amendment will extend the maturity date to May 13, 2019 and reduce the applicable interest rate. The Facility will initially bear interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 100 basis points on any drawn balance and will include an annual 20 basis point facility fee on the entire $800 million capacity. The interest rate is based on the higher of the Company’s current corporate credit ratings from Moody's and S&P. Further, the Company will have options to extend maturity for two additional six-month periods.
