Item 8.01  Other Events

     CBL  &  Associates  Properties,   Inc.  (the  "Company")  is  updating  its
consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2004 to reflect the application of the  requirements
of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 144, "Accounting for
the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived  Assets," as well as the effects of the
Company's stock split that occurred in June 2005.

     During  March  2005,  the  Company  sold five  community  centers  and,  in
accordance  with SFAS No. 144,  has reported  the results of  operations  of the
community  centers as discontinued  operations for each period  presented in its
quarterly  reports filed since the date of the sale,  including  any  comparable
periods  of the prior  year that are  presented.  The same  reclassification  as
discontinued  operations  required  by SFAS No.  144  following  the sale of the
community center is required for previously  issued annual financial  statements
for each of the three years shown in the  Company's  last annual  report on Form
10-K, if those financial  statements are incorporated by reference in subsequent
filings with the SEC made under the  Securities  Act of 1933,  as amended,  even
though those  financial  statements  relate to periods  prior to the date of the
sale.

     This  reclassification  has no effect on the Company's  reported net income
available to common shareholders.  This Form 8-K updates Items 6, 7, 8 and 15 of
the Company's  Form 10-K to reflect the community  centers sold in March 2005 as
discontinued operations.

     At the  Company's  Annual  Meeting  of  Shareholders  on May 9,  2005,  the
Company's  shareholders  approved an increase  in the  authorized  shares of the
common  stock  under  the  Company's   amended  and  restated   certificate   of
incorporation to 180,000,000 shares from 95,000,000 shares. On May 10, 2005, the
Company's Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company's
common  stock,  which was effected in the form of a stock  dividend.  The record
date for the stock split was June 1, 2005,  and the  distribution  date was June
15, 2005. The Company  retained the current par value of $0.01 per share for all
shares of common stock. All references to numbers of common shares and per share
data in this annual  report on Form 10-K have been adjusted to reflect the stock
split on a retroactive basis.

     The Operating  Partnership  currently  has common units and special  common
units of limited  partner  interest  outstanding  that may be exchanged by their
holders,  under  certain  circumstances,   for  shares  of  common  stock  on  a
one-for-one  basis.  These common units and special common units were also split
on a two-for-one basis so that they continue to be exchangeable on a one-for-one
basis into shares of the Company's  common stock.  All  references to numbers of
common  units and special  common units and related per unit data in this annual
report on Form 10-K have also been  adjusted  to  reflect  the stock  split on a
retroactive basis.

     This Form 8-K  updates the cover page and Items 1, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 15 of the
Company's Form 10-K to reflect the two-for-one  stock split,  which was effected
in the form of a stock dividend, that occurred on June 15, 2005.

     All other items of the Form 10-K remain unchanged. No attempt has been made
to update  matters in the Form 10-K,  except to the  extent  expressly  provided
above.
