Of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, 2,718,195 were acquired at the time of the Issuer’s initial public offering which closed on December 20, 2005 (the “Offering”).

Of these 2,718,195 Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, 1,800,883 are issuable at the election of the Issuer upon the redemption by the Reporting Person of units of limited partnership of Republic Property Limited Partnership (“Units”).  The Reporting Person acquired these Units pursuant to Contribution Agreements by which the Reporting Person and affiliates contributed to Republic Property Limited Partnership interests in certain entities, including entities that own or lease real property interests and entities that provide management and development services.  The Issuer’s initial public offering price of $12.00 per Share was used to determine the number of securities issued.

In connection with the Offering, the Issuer granted the Reporting Person 2,893 restricted Shares.  The restricted Shares are immediately vested

In addition, in connection with the Offering, one of the underwriters reserved for sale to affiliates of the Reporting Person an aggregate of $5.0 million of Shares at the Issuer’s initial public offering price of $12.00 per Share.  The Lillian R. Kramer Special Revocable Trust and The I. Melvin Kramer Special Revocable Trust, affiliates of the Reporting Person, each purchased in the Offering 208,334 of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, for a total of 416,668 of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person, with trust funds for an aggregate purchase price of $5,000,000.

As described in Item 3 above, 2,718,195 of the Shares beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were acquired in connection with the Issuer’s initial public offering on December 20, 2005.  The Reporting Person has acquired the Shares for investment purposes.  The Reporting Person may, from time to time, depending on market conditions and other factors deemed relevant by the Reporting Person, acquire additional Shares.  The Reporting Person reserves the right to, and may in the future choose to, change his purpose with respect to his investment and take such actions as he deems appropriate in light of the circumstances including, without limitation, to dispose of, in the open market, in a private transaction or by gift, all or a portion of the Shares which the Reporting Person now owns or may hereafter acquire.

Except as described herein, the Reporting Person does not have any present plans or proposals that relate to, or would result in, the acquisition of additional securities of the Issuer, the disposition of securities of the Issuer, an extraordinary corporate transaction involving the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries, a sale or transfer of a material amount of the Issuer’s or any of its subsidiaries’ assets, a change in the present Board of Trustees or management of the Issuer, a material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer, any other material change to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, a change in the Issuer’s charter or bylaws or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Issuer by any person, the delisting or deregistration of any of the Issuer’s securities or any action similar to the listed actions.

Pursuant to the terms of a Lock-Up Letter Agreement between the Reporting Person and the underwriters of the Issuer’s initial public offering, the Reporting Person is restricted from transferring, except by certain permitted transfers, any of the Issuer’s Shares held by him before July 1, 2007.
