(the “Operating Partnership”), announced that the Operating Partnership has commenced a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) for any and all of its outstanding 4.50% Guaranteed Notes due November 1, 2009 (collectively, the “Notes”). The consideration payable for the Notes is $967.50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the payment date for the Notes purchased in the Tender Offer, which is expected to be the first business day following the Expiration Time (as defined below).

The Operating Partnership expects to fund its purchase of Notes in the Tender Offer using available cash and borrowings under its $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility. We expect to cancel the Notes purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer (holding approximately $28.3 million of the purchased Notes until maturity in an escrow account established by an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Operating Partnership).
