EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 incorporates the correct and updated consent
of our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm, PriceWaterhouseCoopers
LLP. The consent we included in the initial S-8 filing did not include the
prescribed language consenting to internal controls over financial reporting due
to an inadvertent use of an old form of consent.
Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc., a North Carolina corporation (the
"Company"), previously registered 1,750,000 common shares of the Company, $.01
par value (the "Common Shares"), to be offered or sold to participants under the
Company's Share Option Plan for Directors and Executive and Key Employees of
Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (the "Share Option Plan") and the Unit
Option Plan for Employees of Tanger Properties Limited Partnership ("Unit Option
Plan") on Form S-8 (File Nos. 333-80450 and 333-91863). At the Annual Meeting of
Shareholders of the Company on May 9, 2003, the Shareholders ratified an
increase, from 1,750,000 to 2,250,000, in the aggregate number of Common Shares
which may be issued under the Share Option Plan and Unit Option Plan. In order
to add restricted shares and other share-based grants to the Share Option Plan
and to merge the Unit Option Plan into the Share Option Plan, holders of Common
Shares (the "Shareholders") ratified the Amended and Restated Incentive Award
Plan (the "Incentive Plan") of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. and Tanger
Properties Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), by and between the
Company and the Operating Partnership, at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of
the Company held on May 14, 2004 (the "Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting
the Shareholders also ratified an increase, from 2,250,000 to 3,000,000, in the
aggregate number of Common Shares which may be issued under the Incentive Plan.
On December 29, 2004, the Company's Common Shares underwent a two-for-one split
(the "Stock Split). Accordingly, pursuant to Rule 416(a) of the Securities Act
of 1933, 3,500,000 Common Shares were previously registered and pursuant to
Section 10.3 of the Incentive Plan, an aggregate of 6,000,000 Common Shares may
be issued under the Incentive Plan. This registration statement is being filed
pursuant to General Instruction E on Form S-8 (Registration of Additional
Securities) in order to register an additional 2,500,000 Common Shares, as
approved by the Shareholders, which may be offered or sold to participants under
the Incentive Plan.
