On January 13, 2006, we reduced our interest in the joint venture that purchased the CalPERs/First Washington portfolio by selling a 10.05% interest to our joint venture partner, an affiliate of Macquarie CountryWide Trust. Our total interest in the joint venture, which we own through our operating partnership, Regency Centers, L.P., is now 24.95% (including a 0.05% indirect interest we own in the venture’s managing member). This percentage interest is consistent with our 25% interest in our other joint ventures with Macquarie affiliates. The cash price was the same as if we had initially made a 24.95% investment in the joint venture from its inception in 2005 and reflects a total purchase price of $270 million for our entire interest. The revised ownership interests are effective as of January 1, 2006.
A copy of the Purchase Agreement, including the related amendment to the operating agreement for the venture, will be filed as an exhibit to our next applicable periodic report or registration statement.
