ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OF ASSETS
Regency Centers, L.P. (the "Partnership") is the primary entity through which
Regency Realty Corporation ("Regency") owns its properties and through which
Regency intends to expand its ownership and operation of retail shopping
centers. At December 31, 1998, Regency owned approximately 96% of the
outstanding units of the Partnership.
Regency completed its merger with Pacific Retail Trust, a Dallas-based private
real estate company that is a leading neighborhood shopping center company in
the western United States. The merger was approved Friday, February 26, 1999 by
shareholders of both companies at special shareholder meetings and was effective
February 28, 1999.
Of the 25.5 million Regency shares authorized to vote, 84.1% was represented at
the special shareholder meeting either in person or by proxy. Of the shares
represented, 98.6% voted in favor of the merger. Of the 67.2 million Pacific
Retail shares authorized to vote, 97.0% was represented at the special
shareholder meeting either in person or by proxy. Of the shares represented,
97.3% voted in favor of the merger.
The merged company will operate under the Regency name and will continue to
trade on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol "REG". With the
completion of the merger, Regency owns 200 retail properties totaling more than
23 million square feet located in high-growth markets throughout the United
States.
Information concerning the merger, including the assets acquired and the merger
consideration, has been previously reported in Regency's definitive Proxy
Statement and Prospectus dated January 28, 1999.
Following the merger, Regency contributed to the Partnership substantially all
of the assets it acquired from Pacific Retail Trust in the merger, including (1)
title to all of the properties acquired, and (2) all of the outstanding
non-voting common stock of PRT Development Corporation, Pacific Retail Trust's
non-qualified REIT subsidiary, in exchange for Class B Partnership units.
In the merger, Regency became the general partner of Retail Properties Partners
Limited Partnership, which continues to own 8 properties that it owned prior to
the merger.
Regency and the Partnership intend to continue to use the assets acquired on the
merger in the same manner and to conduct the same type of business as Pacific
Retail Trust did prior to the merger.
