On April 29, 2009, Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Registrant”) began mailing the 2008 Annual Report to its stockholders. The Annual Report consists of an introductory section (including a Letter to Stockholders), a copy of the Registrant’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and a concluding section. The introductory and concluding sections of the Registrant’s Annual Report are attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such exhibit and the information set forth therein are deemed to have been furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. However, the attached exhibit does not contain the Registrant’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as it was previously filed on March 13, 2009.
Additionally, the exhibit to this Form 8-K may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including discussions regarding any liquidity event of the Registrant and other factors that may affect future earnings or financial results. Such forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the Registrant’s use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe” or other similar words. Information given in this exhibit relating to leasing, the Registrant’s estimated net asset value and other facts and figures are given as of the date of this filing. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially include changes in general economic conditions, changes in real estate conditions, increases in interest rates, lease-up risks, lack of availability of financing or other capital proceeds and additional borrowings under our unsecured line of credit or other debt facilities. Piedmont Office Realty Trust is closed to new investors. SEC filings: www.sec.gov.
