This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (this Amendment) amends the Schedule 13D, dated April 5, 2007 (the Original Schedule 13D), and jointly filed by each of (i) CPT Manager Limited (CPT Manager), in its capacity as the responsible entity of Centro Property Trust (CPT), (ii) Centro MCS Manager Limited (MCS Manager), in its capacity as the responsible entity of Centro Retail Trust (CRT), (iii) CPT Custodian Pty Limited (CPT Custodian), in its capacity as the responsible entity of Centro Super Holding Trust No. 1, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CPT (Trust No. 1), and in its capacity as the responsible entity of Centro Super Holding Trust No. 3, a direct wholly owned subsidiary of CRT (Trust No. 3), (iv) Super LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (Super), which is directly owned 50% by Trust No. 1 and 50% by Trust No. 3, (v) Super IntermediateCo LLC, a Maryland limited liability company (Parent), which is directly 100% owned by Super, and (vi) Super MergerSub Inc., a Maryland corporation (Purchaser), which is directly 100% owned by Parent, with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on April 16, 2007 (the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by this Amendment, the Schedule 13D) with respect to the shares of common stock, $.01 par value per share, of New Plan Excel Realty Trust, Inc. (the Company; such shares, the Common Stock). CPT Manager, MCS Manager, CPT Custodian, Super, Parent and Purchaser are collectively referred to herein as the Reporting Persons. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
The response to Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end thereof:
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 of Common Stock that had been validly tendered pursuant to the subsequent offering period. Approximately 22,096,621 additional shares of Common Stock 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 of Common Stock, representing approximately 88.0% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock and approximately 86.8% of the vote of the Companys outstanding Common Stock 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 of Common Stock 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 the Company, at the Offer Price, the number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock that, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock already owned by Purchaser and its affiliates, constitutes one share more than shares representing a 90% Vote (taking into account shares of Common Stock issued under the Top-Up Option). Exercise of the Top-Up Option would permit Purchaser to effect a short-form merger of Purchaser into the Company under Maryland law without the vote of or any other action by the other Company 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 copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 5 to the Schedule 13D and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
The responses to Item 5(a) and (b) of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end thereof:

Approximately 22,096,621 additional shares of Common Stock were tendered during the subsequent offering period which began on April 5, 2007.
