Explanatory Note: Weingarten Realty Investors is filing this amended Current Report on Form 8-K/A to correct a typographical error regarding its estimated Funds From Operations which was included in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2009 and to correct typographical errors that appear in the exhibits to such Form 8-K. The corrected information appears below and in the accompanying exhibits. Accordingly, this Current Report on Form 8-K/A supersedes, in its entirety, the Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 16, 2009.

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

The company estimates that its Funds From Operations (“FFO”), a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance, will be between $1.87 and $2.11 per diluted common share for the year ending December 31, 2009, after considering the effect of the proposed offering of 25,500,000 common shares of beneficial interest announced today (assuming such shares were outstanding for all of 2009). This FFO estimate does not include impairment charges, if any, that may be taken in 2009.

Please refer to Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, which are incorporated into this Item 7.01 by reference.

The information in this item shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any disclosure document relating to the company, except to the extent, if any, expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
