On June 2, 2004, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”) announced a strategic real estate transaction with AT&T Corporation, who is also a significant tenant of the Company.

 

Under the agreements executed with AT&T (which are filed herewith), the Company:

 

1)                                                                                      Acquired 30 Knightsbridge Road, a four-building office complex, aggregating 670,318 square feet and located in Piscataway, New Jersey.  AT&T, who currently occupies the entire complex, has leased back from the Company two of the buildings in the complex, totaling 275,000 square feet, for 10 years and seven months, and is leasing back the remaining 395,318 square feet of the complex for a minimum of four months. Upon expiration of the lease back of the 395,318 square feet, AT&T will pay additional base rent on up to 20,000 square feet of the common area in the complex, subject to certain adjustments, for the remainder of the term of the lease of 275,000 square feet or until the same is no longer common area;

2)                                                                                      Acquired Kemble Plaza II, a 475,100 square-foot office building located in Morris Township, New Jersey, from AT&T, which the Company had previously sold to AT&T in June of 2000.  AT&T, who currently occupies the entire building, has leased back the entire property from the Company for one year;

3)                                                                                      Signed a lease extension at the Company’s Kemble Plaza I property in Morris Township, New Jersey, extending AT&T’s lease for the entire 387,000 square-foot building for an additional five years to August 2014.  Under the lease extension, the Company has agreed, among other things, to fund up to $2.1 million of tenant improvements to be performed by AT&T at the property;

4)                                                                                      Paid cash consideration of approximately $12.9 million to AT&T; and

5)                                                                                      Assumed AT&T’s lease obligations with third-party landlords at seven office buildings.
