Item 8.01. Other Events.
On November 5, 2007, we agreed to sell or contribute 29 of our properties (the Properties) to a
joint venture (the Venture) that we intend to form with G&I VI Investment Interchange Office LLC,
an investment vehicle advised by DRA Advisors LLC (DRA). Closing of this transaction is subject
to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including consummation by the Venture of a
mortgage loan to be secured by the Properties. We presently expect closing to occur prior to the
end of 2007. However, we cannot provide any assurance that all conditions to closing will be
satisfied or that closing will occur in 2007.
DRA and we valued the Properties, based on arms-length negotiation, at an aggregate gross value of
approximately $245.4 million. DRA will own an 80% interest in the Venture and we will own a 20%
interest in the Venture. At closing, we expect that (i) a third party institutional lender would
loan the Venture approximately $184.0 million; (ii) DRA would contribute cash to the Venture in an
estimated amount of approximately $53.3 million; and (iii) we would receive, in exchange for the
Properties and in connection with certain other transactions, aggregate cash from the Venture in an
estimated amount of approximately $235.2 million and our 20% interest in the Venture. We expect to
use the cash that we receive at closing from the Venture, net of transaction expenses, to reduce
outstanding indebtedness under our unsecured revolving credit facility. The actual dollar amounts
that are contributed or credited to the Venture, and that we receive from the Venture upon the
closing of the transaction, may vary from the estimated amounts shown above.
We will serve initially as the operating member of the Venture, with responsibility for the
day-to-day operations of the Venture, and the Venture will also engage us to provide property
management and leasing services for the Properties. We will receive a market-based fee for our
management and leasing services to the Venture and we will also receive a promoted interest that
will entitle us to receive (in addition to our 20% capital interest) an additional portion of net
distributions by the Venture of proceeds from capital events (such as property sales) if and after
DRA and we have received an agreed upon internal rate of return on our respective capital
contributions to the Venture.
The table below lists the location and square footage of the Properties. As of September 30, 2007,
the Properties were 95.3% occupied and 96.4% leased (reflecting future executed leases).

The term of the Venture will be perpetual until dissolved in accordance with the operating
agreement for the Venture, and unless we and DRA jointly agree, the Venture will not sell or
dispose of any of the Properties during the two-year period following the closing date. The
operating agreement will generally prohibit a member from transferring its interest in the Venture
without the consent of the other member except that after the second anniversary of the closing
date each of we and DRA may exercise a customary buy-sell and, in addition, DRA may transfer its
interest to a third party subject to our ability to participate in any such transfer.
As used in this Form 8-K, the terms we and our refer to Brandywine Operating Partnership, L.P.,
the limited partnership through which Brandywine Realty Trust owns its assets and conducts its
operations, along with direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brandywine Operating
Partnership, L.P.
