     1    Issue Shares in Connection with an Acquisition    For    For         Mgmt
    

The board states as reasons for the merger, among others: (1) the opportunity for the combined company to replicate Brandywine’s regional approach to owning and managing real estate in three dynamic markets where Prentiss has a strong presence: Metro Washington, D.C., Oakland, California and Austin, Texas, each of which is projected to have higher rental rate and job growth characteristics than Brandywine’s current markets, (2) the opportunity to acquire through a single transaction a portfolio of high-quality properties, together with an experienced management team, that could not be easily replicated through acquisitions of individual assets, (3) the value-added development opportunities in high growth markets afforded to Brandywine by the developable land owned by Prentiss, and (4) the ability of the combined company to generate internal capital and to deploy its capital in an increased number of core-targeted markets, affording the combined company more consistent avenues of growth. Based on our review of the terms of the transaction and the factors described above, specifically the sensible strategic rationale, we believe that the merger agreement warrants shareholder support.
