1. Description of Plan

The following description of the Regency Centers 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (“the Plan”) is provided for general information purposes only. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan’s provisions.

The Plan is a 401(k) and profit sharing defined contribution retirement plan covering all eligible employees of Regency Centers Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates (“the Company”), who are at least 18 years of age. Employees become eligible the first day of the quarter following the employee's date of hire. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”).

Each eligible employee is automatically enrolled in the Plan, at a contribution rate of 6% on a pre-tax basis, and becomes a participant of the Plan, unless the employee elects to decline participation within 45 days of his or her eligibility date. Participants who are automatically enrolled but do not make investment elections have their contributions allocated to one of eleven designated Vanguard age-based retirement target date funds until changed by the participant. Additionally, on an annual basis, employee deferrals are automatically increased by 1%, up to a maximum contribution rate of 15%, unless the employee elects to decline. During 2024, participants may contribute up to $23,000 of annual compensation, on a pre-tax or after-tax basis, as defined in the Plan. Participants who are or will attain age 50 before the end of the Plan year may elect to defer additional amounts up to $7,500 (“catch-up contributions”) to the Plan that year.

The Company matches participant contributions equal to 100% of salary deferrals up to a maximum matching amount of $5,000. Participant and employer matching contributions are invested as directed by the participant. The Company may also elect to make a profit sharing contribution to the Plan in the form of cash. During 2024, the Company’s profit sharing contribution totaled $3,399,058, and was contributed in March 2025.

A participant may transfer funds from other qualified plans to the Plan. These funds are set up in a separate participant account referred to as a “Participant's Rollover Account.”

Principal Financial Group serves as recordkeeper, trustee and asset custodian. Regions Bank is the Investment Manager for the Plan. The Company’s Employee Benefits and Retirement Investment Committee oversees the Plan.

Each participant’s account is credited with the participant’s contributions and allocations of (a) the Company’s matching contributions, (b) plan earnings, and (c) discretionary profit sharing contributions. Allocations of the Company’s profit sharing contributions are based on participant earnings, as defined in the Plan document. Allocations of plan earnings for investments other than self-directed accounts are based on participants’ account balances. Self-directed accounts are credited with the earnings of the specific investments chosen by the participant. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be provided from the participant’s vested accounts.

Participants may borrow from the Plan using their vested account balance as security for the loan. Participant loans are repaid through payroll deductions. The minimum loan amount is $1,000 up to a maximum amount equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of the participants’ vested account balance. Generally, the term of the loan may not exceed five years; however, if the loan is for the purchase of a primary residence, the Plan may allow for a longer repayment term. A participant may have only one loan outstanding at any time. The interest rate is fixed over the life of the loan based on market rates at loan inception, and the interest paid by the participant is credited back to the participant’s account. At December 31, 2024 participant loans had interest rates ranging from 4.25% to 9.50%. In 2024, interest on notes receivable from participants comprised $90,069.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

3. Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination, participants will become fully vested in all employer contributions and earnings thereon. Additionally, the Company may direct benefits to be distributed as soon as practicable or a trust, created by the Plan, can be continued with benefits distributed as if the Plan had not been terminated.

4. Income Tax Status

The sponsor of the prototype plan, on which this standardized plan is based, received a tax opinion letter from the IRS dated June 30, 2020, which indicates that the Plan, as designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (“the Code”). Although the Plan has been amended since receiving the determination letter, in the opinion of the Plan administrator and its counsel, the Plan has operated in accordance with the Code and the plan document and therefore remains qualified and tax exempt.

The Plan recognizes tax positions in the financial statements when it is more likely than not the position will be sustained upon examination by the tax authorities. Such tax positions shall initially and subsequently be measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the tax authority assuming full knowledge of the position and relevant facts. The Company believes that it has appropriate support for the income tax positions taken based on an assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax laws applied to the facts of each matter. The Plan is subject to routine audits by taxing jurisdictions.

5. Parties-in-interest Transactions and Related Party Transactions

Fees paid by the Plan to the trustees for administrative and investment services approximated $143,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Fees paid by the Plan to the Investment Manager approximated $55,000 for the year ended December 31, 2024. Fees paid for investment management services were included as a reduction of the return earned on each fund.

Transactions in Company common stock qualify as party-in-interest transactions. The investments in the common stock of the Company earned dividend income of $334,858 during 2024, of which $87,637 is accrued at December 31, 2024.

6. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, fair value measurement is determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the Plan uses a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the Plan’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy). The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on the Plan’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

The valuation techniques attempt to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The availability of observable market data is monitored to assess the appropriate classifications of financial instruments within the fair value hierarchy. Changes in economic conditions or model-based valuation techniques may require the transfer of financial instruments from one fair value level to another. In such instances, the transfer is reported at the beginning of the reporting period.

The significance of transfers between levels was evaluated based upon the nature of the financial instrument and size of the transfer relative to total net assets available for benefits. For the year ended December 31, 2024, there were no transfers in or out of levels 1, 2, or 3.

Plan Investments

Money market funds

The assets held in money market funds are valued at the NAV of the underlying funds. The NAV of money market funds are based on quoted prices in an active market and have been classified within Level 1.

Common/collective trusts

The investments held in common/collective trusts are valued at the NAV per unit of the underlying funds. The NAV is used as the practical expedient to estimate fair value and therefore, investments recorded at NAV are not categorized in the fair value hierarchy. NAV of the collective trust is calculated daily. Participants’ redemptions of the common/collective trusts are permitted daily with no other restrictions or notice periods and there are no unfunded commitments.

Mutual funds

Shares of mutual funds are valued at the NAV of shares held by the Plan. The NAV of the mutual funds are based on quoted prices in active markets and have been classified within Level 1.
