Section 7 - Regulation FD
 
Item 7.01 Regulation FD
 
On January 24, 2011, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (“Tanger”) (NYSE: SKT) and RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust ("RioCan") (TSX:REI.UN), issued a joint press release to announce that they have entered into a letter of intent to form an exclusive joint venture for the acquisition, development and leasing of sites across Canada that are suitable for development or redevelopment as outlet shopping centres similar in concept and design to those within the existing Tanger U.S. portfolio. Any projects developed will be co-owned on a 50/50 basis and will be branded as Tanger Outlet Centers. Tanger has agreed to provide leasing and marketing services to the venture and RioCan will provide development and property management services. It is the intention of the joint venture to develop as many as 10 to 15 outlet centres in larger urban markets and tourist areas across Canada, over a five to seven year period. The typical size of a Tanger Outlet Center is approximately 350,000 square feet, but is dependent on tenant demand. Assuming these parameters are suitable and materialize in Canada, on a fully built out basis, the overall investment of the joint venture is anticipated to be as high as $1 billion. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K
