On January 29, 2019, Equity Commonwealth, a Maryland real estate investment trust (the “Company”), by and through its primary operating subsidiary, EQC Operating Trust (the “Operating Trust”), and another subsidiary (collectively, “Sellers”), entered into a sale agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with Silverstein/Arden 1735 Market Holdco LP (“Purchaser”), pursuant to which Sellers agreed to convey to Purchaser or its assignees 100% of the equity interests in the fee simple owner of 1735 Market Street in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a gross sale price of $451.6 million (the "Transaction"). The Transaction closed on March 26, 2019. Proceeds after credits for capital costs, contractual lease costs, and rent abatements were $435.4 million.

The accompanying Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018 presents Equity Commonwealth's historical amounts, adjusted for the effects of the Transaction, as if 1735 Market Street had been disposed of on December 31, 2018.
