ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.


         On July 26, 2005, Kimco Realty Corporation, (the "Company"), as
borrower, amended its existing three-year $500,000,000 unsecured revolving
credit facility and entered into an amended and restated three-year $850,000,000
unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with JPMorgan Chase
Bank, N.A., as Issuing Lender and Administrative Agent, Wachovia Bank, National
Association, The Bank of Nova Scotia and New York Agency, as Syndication Agents,
UFJ Bank Limited, Suntrust Bank, Merrill Lynch Bank USA, Eurohypo AG, New York
Branch, The Bank of New York, Amsouth Bank, Bank of America, N.A., Royal Bank of
Canada, Mizuho Corporate Bank (USA), US Bank National Association and Westlb AG,
New York Branch as Managing Agents, Citicorp North America, Inc., Barclays Bank
PLC, The Governor and Company of the Bank of Ireland, Manufacturers and Traders
Trust Company and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation as Co-Agents and JPMorgan
Securities Inc., as Sole Bookrunner and Sole Lead Arranger. Interest on
borrowings under the Credit Facility accrue at a spread (currently 0.45%) to
LIBOR and fluctuates in accordance with changes in the Company's senior debt
ratings. As part of this Credit Facility, the Company has a competitive bid
option whereby the Company may auction up to $425.0 million of its requested
borrowings to the bank group. This competitive bid option provides the Company
the opportunity to obtain pricing below the currently stated spread to LIBOR of
0.45%. In addition, the Company has a $200 million sub-limit, which provides it
the opportunity to borrow in alternative currencies such as Pounds Sterling,
Japanese Yen or Euros. The Credit Facility is scheduled to expire in July 2008.
A copy of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10-1
hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
