Regency Centers Corporation (“Regency” or the “Company”) announced today that Joan Wellhouse Stein Newton has passed away, at age 97. Mrs. Newton co-founded the Company in 1963 with her husband, Martin E. Stein, Sr., and after his death in 1987 served as its Chair of the Board of Directors (the “Board”), helped lead the Company through its initial public offering in 1993, and then continued as Chair until 1997, after which she became Chair Emeritus until 2006. Mrs. Newton played a foundational and enduring leadership role at Regency, but also is one of the most significant and noteworthy female leaders in the history of the U.S. REIT sector. Mrs. Newton is the mother of the current Executive Chair of the Board of the Company, Martin E. (“Hap”) Stein, Jr.
Mr. Stein has advised the Company that, in connection with his mother’s passing and implementation of her estate plan, between 150,000 and 200,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which the Company has previously disclosed as being beneficially owned by Mr. Stein, may be sold over the next several days in one or more transactions under and pursuant to the requirements of Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Rule 144”). No assurance can be given that any such sales will be consummated. Filings under Section 16 of the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 144 to reflect these transactions will be made as required.
The Company is disclosing these anticipated transactions to provide transparency to its shareholders. However, these transactions should not be interpreted to indicate any change in Mr. Stein’s status as Executive Chair of the Board of the Company, nor in his commitment to the Company.
