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, 2008 (“Form 10-K”) to incorporate into the Form 10-K the unaudited 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 ( “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 March 17, 2009.

Since the Registrant has amended the Form 10-K as described above, a currently-dated consent from KPMG LLP has been provided, 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 and chief financial 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 filing of the financial statements under Rule 3-09 of Regulation S-X, revised consent, and revised certifications, this Amendment No. 1 does not amend the Registrant’s previously filed Form 10-K.
