        <footnote id="F1">The price reported in Column 4 reflects a weighted average price of $40.1949. These shares were sold in multiple transactions at prices ranging from $39.88 to $40.685, inclusive. The reporting person undertakes to provide to JBG SMITH Properties (the &quot;Issuer&quot;), any security holder of the Issuer or the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, upon request, full information regarding the number of shares sold at each separate price within the range set forth in this footnote 1.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">The Issuer previously issued to ten limited liability companies (the &quot;LLCs&quot;) controlled by the reporting person common shares, par value $0.01 (&quot;Common Shares&quot;), of the Issuer as consideration for the contribution of certain assets by The JBG Companies and investment funds associated with The JBG Companies to the Issuer or its subsidiaries in connection with a previously completed business combination transaction. The reporting person is, directly or indirectly, the sole or majority owner of the membership interests of each of the LLCs. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the Common Shares except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. The transaction reflected in Column 4 represents the sale of Common Shares by the LLCs on a pro rata basis.</footnote>

    <remarks>An employee of the reporting person serves on the Board of Trustees of the Issuer (the &quot;Board&quot;) and may be viewed as serving on the Board as the deputy of the reporting person. As a result, the reporting person may itself be deemed a trustee of the Issuer for purposes of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This Form 4 shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is required to file beneficial ownership reports under Section 16(a) or that the employee is serving on the Board as the deputy of the reporting person or in any capacity other than his personal capacity.</remarks>
