This Schedule TO is being filed on behalf of Purchaser and Centro. Unless otherwise indicated, references to sections in this Schedule TO are references to sections of the Offer to Purchase.

The information in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal is incorporated in this Amendment by reference to all of the applicable items in the Original Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.

Item 11.  Additional Information

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs thereto:

On April 19, 2007, Centro issued a press release announcing that the subsequent offering period of the Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time on April 18, 2007, and that Purchaser had accepted for payment all of the additional Shares that had been validly tendered pursuant to the subsequent offering period.  Approximately 22,096,621 additional Shares were tendered during the subsequent offering period which began on April 5, 2007.  Following the purchase of these Shares, as of the date hereof, Purchaser beneficially owns a total of approximately 91,202,530 Shares, representing approximately 88.0% of the outstanding Shares and approximately 86.8% of the vote of the outstanding Shares and Series D Preferred Shares (after reflecting and taking into account any adjustment to the number of votes such holders have relative to holders of Shares in accordance with the terms of the Series D Preferred Shares), voting together as a class.

Purchaser also announced that it currently intends to exercise the Top-Up Option under the Merger Agreement.  Pursuant to the exercise of the Top-Up Option, Purchaser would purchase from New Plan, at the Offer Price, the number of authorized and unissued Shares equal to the number of Shares that, when added to the number of Shares already owned by Purchaser and its affiliates, constitutes one Share more than Shares representing a 90% Vote (taking into account Shares issued under the Top-Up Option).  Exercise of the Top-Up Option would permit Purchaser to effect a short-form merger of Purchaser into New Plan under Maryland law without the vote of or any other action by the other New Plan stockholders.

Purchaser also announced that if the Top-Up Option is exercised, it is anticipated that the short-form merger will become effective on or about April 20, 2007.

A press release announcing the results of the Offer is attached as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
