FIRST AMENDMENT TO TENDER OFFER
This Amendment No. 1 amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Schedule TO”) filed by Madison Investment Trust Series 108 (collectively the “Purchaser”) to purchase up to 23,800,000 shares of common stock (the “Shares”) in Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Corporation”), as set forth in the Schedule TO. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase filed as Exhibit (a)(1) to the Schedule TO (the “Offer to Purchase”).
The Purchaser has determined that in accordance with Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase, a change has occurred that is materially adverse to the business and prospects of the Corporation and the value of the Shares and has therefore decided to not accept any Shares that are tendered for payment. Therefore, the Purchaser intends to permit the Offer to expire by its terms at 11:59 P.M., Pacific Time, on October 17, 2008, without accepting for purchase any tendered Shares. All tendered Shares will be promptly returned to investors along with all accompanying documentation.
Since September 5, 2008 (the “Offer Date”) the NAREIT Office REIT index, an index of publicly traded office REITs, has declined in market value by over 35%. The Purchaser feels this decline will have a direct impact on the Corporation’s ability to list on a publicly traded exchange in the timeframe currently contemplated by the Corporation. In addition, since the Offer Date lending institutions have significantly limited that amount of available credit, as conditions in the credit markets have deteriorated. This deterioration is evidenced by the increase in LIBOR (the lending rate between financial institutions) of 70% since the Offer Date. The change in the Corporations’s prospect of listing on a national exchange and the negative change in the credit markets that has impacted the extension of credit by financial institutions has resulted in the Purchaser’s decision to not accept any Shares for payment when it expires by its terms at 11:59 P.M., Pacific Time, on October 17, 2008.
