Item 5. Market for the Registrant's Common Equity, Related Stockholder Matters, and Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities

Our common stock is listed on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol "REG."

As of February 05, 2024, there were 112,794 holders of our common stock.

We intend to pay regular quarterly distributions to Regency Centers Corporation's common shareholders. Future distributions will be declared and paid at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will depend upon cash generated by our operating results, our financial condition, cash flows, capital requirements, future business prospects, annual dividend requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and such other factors as our Board of Directors deems relevant. In order to maintain Regency Centers Corporation's qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we are generally required to make annual distributions equal to at least 90% of our real estate investment trust taxable income for the taxable year. Under certain circumstances we could be required to make distributions in excess of cash available for distributions in order to meet such requirements. We have a dividend reinvestment plan under which our shareholders may elect to reinvest their dividends automatically in common stock. Under the plan, we may elect to purchase common stock in the open market on behalf of shareholders or may issue new common stock to such shareholders.

Under the revolving credit agreement of our Line, in the event of any monetary default, we may not make distributions to shareholders except to the extent necessary to maintain our REIT status.
