TENDER OFFER
 
This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relates to the offer (the “Offer”) by Opportunity Investment Fund I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Purchaser”) to acquire 100,000 shares of common stock (“Shares”) of Piedmont Office Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Corporation”) at a purchase price equal to $4.60 per Share (the “Offer Price”), less the amount of any dividends declared or made with respect to the shares between November 16, 2009 (the “Offer Date”) and December 18, 2009 or such other date to which this offer may be extended (the “Expiration Date”), in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this offer to purchase and in the related Letter of Transmittal, as each may be supplemented or amended from time to time (which together constitute the “Tender Offer Documents”).
 
The Corporation reported that it had 472,373,109 Shares outstanding on July 31, 2009 in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 13, 2009.  As of November 16, 2009, the Purchaser and its affiliates did not own any Shares. As of November 16, 2009, the Purchaser and its affiliates did not own any Shares. The 100,000 Shares subject to the Offer constitute approximately 0.02% of the outstanding Shares.
 
In the event of a price reduction resulting from a Corporation dividend declared or made after the Offer Date and before the Expiration Date, as described above, or otherwise, the Purchasers will file an amendment to this Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO reflecting such reduction and will, to the extent necessary, extend the Expiration Date to assure there is a minimum ten business day period following the amendment before the Offer expires. On November 23, 2009, the Purchaser amended the Offer to, among other things, accept Shares on a pro-rata basis instead of on a first come first served basis .
 
The address of the Corporation’s principal executive offices is 11695 Johns Creek Parkway, Ste. 350, Johns Creek, Georgia 30097, and its phone number is (770) 418-8800.
