Amendment Description	Physicians Realty Trust (the “Company”) is filing this Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on November 9, 2015 (the "Original Report"), solely to correct an error in the number of outstanding common shares set forth on the cover page of the Original Report, which inadvertently omitted 15,812,500 common shares that were issued in connection with the completion of the Company’s follow-on public offering on October 19, 2015. The correct number of outstanding common shares as of November 2, 2015 is 87,167,181 common shares as set forth on the cover page of this Amendment, correcting and increasing the outstanding common share count of 71,354,781 disclosed in the Original Report by 15,812,500 common shares. In addition, as required by SEC rules, the certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 included in the Original Report have been updated as required for the date of this Amendment. Except as described above, no changes have been made to the Original Report. This Amendment does not modify, amend or update any financial information in the Original Report. This Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Report, and the Company has not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred at a date subsequent to the Original Report.
