Executive Summary 5

 
 

The Case For Long - Overdue Structural Change at Mack - Cali 6 Despite a wide - spread real estate boom, Mack - Cali’s Board has destroyed shareholder value for decades – detailed review of strategic alternatives is required to unlock shareholder value After decades of underperformance, mismanagement, and weak governance, we believe structural change is required to unlock value at Mack - Cali; current Board incapable of effecting this change • Mack - Cali (“CLI” or “Company”) has underperformed its peers on a total return basis for decades, with bottom quartile shareholder returns over 3, 5, 7, 10, 15, and 20 year periods (1) • The Board of Directors responsible for this underperformance largely remains in place. Defying best - practice governance standards, the majority of Mack Cali’s current directors have served on its board for over 15 years • Despite attractive assets, years of missteps by the Board and management have left the Company in an intractable state – over - levered and under - occupied, lacking a credible path to sustainable shareholder value creation • Bow Street is nominating 4 highly capable, independent Directors to ensure that all alternatives for value creation are explored vigorously by the Board • We believe Mack - Cali’s value can never be realized in its current structure; a robust, transparent strategic review overseen by an independent Board of Directors is essential to the Company’s future (1) Using peers primarily identified in Mack - Cali’s proxy statements; performance data taken as of 3/15/2019 (last unaffected tradin g date prior to public announcement of Bow Street’s intent to nominate Directors). Note: all share performance metrics calculated as of 3/15/2019 in presentation

 
 

Bow Street: Who We Are and Why We Are Here 7 We believe the current Board has failed Mack - Cali shareholders; new Board leadership essential to determining the right strategic path forward Bow Street LLC owns ~4.5% of Mack - Cali’s outstanding shares • Bow Street LLC is a New - York based investment manager founded in 2011 that partners with institutional investors and family offices globally to invest opportunistically across idiosyncratic markets and situations – This proxy filing is our first such submission since our firm’s founding; we are not activists – We own assets in both the public and private markets, and have extensive real estate experience • Endeavoring to work constructively with management to address the Company’s issues, in February of 2019, Bow Street - along with DWREI - formulated a proposal to acquire approximately half of Mack - Cali’s assets in a corporate transaction we believed was worth up to $27 - 29 per CLI Share • We believe Mack - Cali should evaluate all strategic alternatives to maximize value, including a sale to the highest bidder in a robust and transparent process

 
 

Board has Overseen a Massive Destruction of Value… 8 During a period of unprecedented asset appreciation, CLI’s Board has overseen extraordinary underperformance • $1.00 invested in Mack - Cali at the inception of the MSCI US REIT Index (RMZ) in 2005 is worth $0.92 today (inclusive of dividends); comparable peer indices appreciated 2x - 4x over this time $0.92 $2.06 $2.61 $3.09 $3.79 $0.00 $0.50 $1.00 $1.50 $2.00 $2.50 $3.00 $3.50 $4.00 CLI Bloomberg Office Index RMZ REIT Index S&P 500 Bloomberg Apartment Index What $1 invested at RMZ inception is worth today (total return) (1) (1) Bloomberg total returns, reinvesting dividends; total return period from 6/20/2005 to 3/15/2019 (last unaffected trading dat e prior to Bow Street being public)

 
 

…a Result of Consistently Poor Operating Performance… 9 Mack - Cali’s operating metrics have steadily deteriorated over the years • Over the last 15 years, shareholders have seen their dividend decline ~70% , free cash flow per share decline ~50% , and stock price decline ~50% • Over this same period, leverage has increased from ~5x EBITDA to 9.5x EBITDA – dangerously high levels with no credible path to de - lever …decades of underperformance (1) This Board has had ample opportunity to fix Mack - Cali, new leadership is long overdue $0 $1 $2 $3 Dividend / Sh …leverage has more than doubled (2) … Dividend cut by nearly ~70%...

…that has Left Mack - Cali Structurally Impaired 10 Mack - Cali cannot realize NAV in its current structure; the Company’s financial position requires either a strategic transformation or significantly dilutive equity issuance • We believe Mack - Cali has no credible path to reducing its considerable debt , even if management’s highly aspirational waterfront leasing objectives are achieved Significant equity required absent a strategic transaction No credible path to reduce leverage with operating plan… (1) …requiring ~$700m+ of equity to reach peer levels (1) 9.5x 8.7x 6.7x 6.6x 5.8x 3x 4x 5x 6x 7x 8x 9x 10x CLI Today CLI PF Waterfront Lease-up Urban Office REITs Suburban Office REITs Apartments REITs Premium (Discount) To NAV (1) Peer leverage from Citi theHunter Express straight average as of 3/18/2019; CLI PF waterfront lease - up assumes 1m sq ft leased at $45 / ft and ~$185m of combined leasing and capex costs ($90m waterfront capex, $50m TI, $23m leasing commission, and $23m free rent); PF EBITDA calculated by adding $45m (for 1m sq ft lease - up at $45 / ft) to Q1 2019 annualized EBITDA of $281m Today Waterfront Full Lease-up Today EBITDA ($m) 281 281 Waterfront Lease-up ($m) 45 PF EBITDA ($m) 281 326 Today's Debt ($m) 2,654 2,654 Lease-up Cost / Capex Cost ($m) 185 PF Debt ($m) 2,654 2,839 Mack-Cali Leverage 9.5x 8.7x Office Peer Leverage 6.7x 6.7x New Equity To Reach Target ($m) 787 672 % of Current Market Cap 37% 32% Apartment Peer Leverage 5.8x 5.8x New Equity To Reach Target ($m) 1,025 949 % of Current Market Cap 48% 45%

 
 

Governance Failure: Board has Not Been Held Accountable… 11 William Mack and his longtime fellow “independent” directors have retained their Board seats despite overseeing historic underperformance • As Board Chairman since 2000, Mr. Mack is highly conflicted – throughout his tenure he has competed directly with Mack - Cali for assets – first as chairman/founder of Apollo Real Estate Advisors and AREA Property Partners and currently through Mack Real Estate Group • We believe long - tenured Board members lack independence, and have watched silently as Mr. Mack created enormous personal wealth while Mack - Cali shareholders have suffered Mack - Cali’s proposed Board (1) is essentially the same Board it has had for the last two decades New, truly independent Board members are required to reverse status quo Bow Street’s nominees would replace 4 long - serving Directors (1) Lisa Myers named to Board in February 2019 following Bow Street’s initial conversation with Mack - Cali; doesn’t include Laura Pomerantz who is up for election at June 2019 Annual meeting Board Join Date Years on Board William Mack (Chairman) 1997 22 Nathan Gantcher 1999 20 Alan Philibosian 1997 22 Vincent Tese 1997 22 Irvin Reid 1994 25 Alan Bernikow 2004 15 David Mack 2004 15 Michael DeMarco (CEO) 2018 1 Rebecca Robertson 2016 3 Lisa Myers (1) 2019 -

Strategic Review & New Leadership: Now is the Time to Act 13 Mack - Cali’s Board has remained steadfastly opposed to meaningful structural change • The time for more incrementalism has passed; CLI’s Net Asset Value has not grown in 20 years • Bow Street has been contacted by over ten parties that would be interested in participating in a process for all/some of the Company’s assets • Only a newly reconstituted, independent Board can appropriately assess the strategic path forward Now is the time to explore monetizations given private market multi - family valuation and Mack - Cali’s proven inability to collapse discount to NAV in current structure Multi - family assets trade at multi - decade highs… (2) 4% 5% 6% 7% 8% 9% Cap Rate % Multifamily NYC Metro New Jersey US Northeast (1) RCA (2) Green Street NAV estimates $0 $10 $20 $30 $40 $50 $60 $70 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 CLI Net Asset Value / Sh ($) No Net Asset Value creation for two …yet Board is arguing for more of the same (2)

 
 

A New Day at CLI: Structural Change, Independent Oversight 14 Bow Street is proposing to remove four of Mack - Cali’s long serving Directors, including its Chairman; we have nominated four highly capable, independent Directors in their place • Bow Street nominees bring diverse, highly relevant backgrounds to a Board in need of fresh thinking and change • Nominees will evaluate all opportunities to maximize shareholder value Bow Street’s Independent Director Nominees Only truly independent Board members can credibly explore all strategic alternatives for creating shareholder value, including running a process to sell the Company or specific assets Alan Batkin (previously Vice Chairman of Eton Park, Kissinger Associates) - Experienced board - member, governance expert and longtime fiduciary MaryAnne Gilmartin (CEO L&L MAG, previously CEO of Forest City) – Significant public REIT leadership experience with history of strong governance; visionary developer of Manhattan - adjacent neighborhoods Nori Gerardo Lietz (Harvard Business School Professor of Real Estate) – Formerly a real estate operator/investor (Partners Group) and longtime trusted advisor/fiduciary to pensions investing in real estate Frederic Cumenal (previously CEO of Tiffany’s) – Branding/consumer expert, long history of consumer focused leadership – directly applicable to CLI’s millennial - targeted efforts in Jersey City

No Accountability for Broken Promises… 22 Mack - Cali has a long track - record of overpromising and underdelivering What Company Said… …What Actually Happened “My number for 2018 just to make it pretty emphatically is above $2 ….

Mack - Cali’s Foundations are Rooted in Bad Governance… 27 At its effective founding in 1997, Mack - Cali was structured to benefit Chairman Bill Mack and his family at the expense of common stockholders • A weak conflict policy has permitted Chairman Mack to pursue over $70 billion (1) of value enhancing deals for himself and his (non - CLI) investors, with a significant concentration in markets/segments where Mack - Cali has operations • The Company’s “Mack Agreement” allows Mack Family to appoint 3 Directors to the Board (~30% of current Board) despite owning only ~7.5% of Company • Mack Agreement forces Mack - Cali to use reasonable judgement to not disadvantage Chairman Mack’s tax position – in certain cases, this provision is in direct conflict with shareholder interest • Mack - Cali has designated governance policies that allow it to stagger its Board, expand its Board, and designate nominees without any stockholder approval Mack - Cali’s governance policies advantage Mack Family at the expense of common shareholders Mack - Cali’s governance scores well below peers… (2) Green Street Governance Rating Score Mack-Cali 30 / 100 Office Average 55 / 100 REIT Average 60 /100 “ One could surmise that Mr. Mack is more focused on the higher risk/return world of opportunity fund investing rather than the relatively staid opportunity set available to CLI.” (3) (1) Aggregate real estate value https://www.cpexecutive.com/post/ares - management - acquiring - area - property - partners/ (2) Green Street Research (3) Green Street Research report 10/17/2005 …resulting in poor oversight, unmitigated conflicts

…Overseen By an Entrenched Board Loyal to Bill Mack 29 A Detailed Look at Chairman Mack’s “Independent” Board: • Chairman Mack has significant influence and long - standing relationships with numerous CLI Board members from his time at AREA, Mack Real Estate Group, FCB Financial Holdings, and NRDC Acquisition / Retail Opportunity Investments Corporation David S. Mack (joined Board 2004) • Chairman Mack’s Brother • Served as member of Mack - Cali’s Advisory Board from 1997 – 2004, joined Board in 2004 Vincent Tese (joined Board 1997) • Served as Lead Director of Bear Stearns at time of collapse; chaired audit and legal compliance • Board service at Bear Stearns overlapped with Chairman Mack as both sat on nominating, qualified legal compliance, and audit committees • In 2012, Glass, Lewis & Company commented: “Given the significant lack of oversight provided by Mr. Tese during his tenure at Bear, particularly in the area of risk management, we believe he should not continue to serve on any public company board (1) ” • While serving as a Director at Cablevision, Mr. Tese received less than 50% of the shareholder vote • Chairman Mack was a Director at FCB Financial Holdings from 2010 – 2018, while Mr. Tese was executive chairman • “Founder” shareholder (together with Chairman Mack and Ms. Pomerantz) in NRDC Acquisition Corp • ROIC Board member with Chairman Mack and Ms. Pomerantz Alan S. Bernikow (joined Board 2004) • Served on FCB Financial Holdings Board from 2010 – 2018 with Chairman Mack and Mr. Tese • Worked at Deloitte & Touche from 1998 – 2003 while it was auditor to Chairman Mack’s Apollo Real Estate Advisors Laura H. Pomerantz (current Board nominee) • Served on Board of AREA Properties (founded by Chairman Mack) • “Founder” shareholder (together with Chairman Mack and Mr. Tese ) in NRDC Acquisition Corp • Director at NRDC Acquisition successor (publicly traded Retail Opportunity Investments Corporation (ROIC)) since 2009 and serves on Board with Chairman Mack and Lee Neibart (CEO of Chairman Mack’s AREA Property Partners from 1993 – 2013) (1) https://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/13/business/sham - shareholder - democracy.html Nathan Gantcher (joined Board 1999) • Refco Group (failed due to fraudulent activity) Board member from 2004 to 2006 • While at Refco , was a member of 3 - person audit committee

 
 

Investors and Analysts have Long Clamored for Change… 30 …with which Wall Street research analysts concur Steady drumbeat of investor concern over the years… “ultimately, the proof is in the pudding, right. And if the stock is where the stock is, at this point, perhaps fresh perspectives are needed in the boardroom … Shareholders are not happy ” - Citi Analyst Michael Bilerman Q3 2018 Earnings Call 11/1/2018 (Bloomberg transcript) “Similar to the nine member U.S. Supreme Court…CLI Board of Directors appears to have a ‘for life’ appointment” - Stifel Research Report 5/7/2018 “The Company’s board has been pretty ineffective over time ” - JP Morgan Research Report 3/27/2019 “I think board oversight, board leadership, board composition has to change alongside management for the better of shareholders that own your stock” - Citi Analyst Michael Bilerman Q4 2017 Earnings Call 2/22/2018 (Bloomberg transcript) In 2014 CalPERS took the unusual step of publicly voting against Chairman Mack Company faced activist pressure in 2014 from Land & Building… …and again in 2018

Status Quo Has Been Preserved by Weak Governance… 32 • Stockholders can’t act outside of annual meeting - Unanimous written consent is required to act in lieu of a stockholder meeting, thus severely limiting shareholders’ ability to effect change • Bar for director removal is unusually high, driving lack of accountability - directors of the Company may only be removed for cause - campaign against directors outside of the annual meeting practically impossible • Board has retained rights to act unilaterally, protecting itself from “uncooperative” shareholders • Mack - Cali has not opted out of the Maryland Unsolicited Takeover Act (" MUTA "), essentially allowing the Board to classify itself without shareholder approval • Per the Company’s articles of restatement, the Company has opted into MGCL § 3 - 804(c), giving the Board sole and exclusive power to fill director vacancies (including those created by expanding the size of the Board) • Perhaps most importantly: the Board has the sole and exclusive power to increase the size of the Board – this means that even if new board members are elected by shareholders, the Board can unilaterally act to dilute the stockholders’ presence in the boardroom at any time The Mack Family and the Board have been protected by Mack - Cali’s shareholder - unfriendly governance Weak governance at Mack - Cali has impeded urgently needed change over the years

 
 

…and Significant Unmitigated Conflicts for the Mack Family 33 Mack - Cali’s weak conflict policy has allowed Chairman Bill Mack to transact extensively across Greater New York/North East, creating significant value for himself and his (non - CLI) investors • At time of combination in 1997, Bill Mack’s conflict policy / non - compete preserved his ability to transact in competing markets through his Apollo Real Estate Funds (AREA) and Mack Real Estate Group Mack Family has been an active player in CLI’s core markets… (1) 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Identifiable Real Estate Transactions Outside Mack - Cali Time Warner Center Developed and owned by Chairman Mack (2000 – 2003) Queens Multi - Family Portfolio Thousands of units bought by Chairman Mack (2006 - 2008) Long track - record of transacting real estate outside of Mack - Cali (1) RCA transaction data ….including numerous high profile deals

 
 

Why is Board so Opposed to Considering a Sale ? 34 In a sale, Chairman Mack’s tax liability is likely to be significant and meaningfully higher than common shareholders Over the years, Mack - Cali is rumored to have rebuffed numerous prospective bidders; our recent experiences with the Company and its Board suggest misaligned incentives may be to blame Does the Mack Family have a tax problem? • Mack Family’s position is primarily comprised of Common Units of Mack - Cali’s Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) – These share economic characteristics with common stock but have very different tax characteristics • While common investors are taxed on gains at their outside basis (e.g. stock purchase price), Chairman Mack’s tax liability upon sale of Company may be significantly more due to ( i ) the ~$290m of debt assumed by Mack - Cali from the Mack Company as part of 1997 combination and (ii) property depreciation benefits he might have realized “Indication of interest received … in February 2019” - Mack - Cali press release dated 5/7/2019 Mack - Cali may have turned away several suitors… …and is apparently disinterested in strategic transactions “The Company (Mack - Cali), it does not believe that now is the right time for the Company to pursue a strategic transaction ” - Mack - Cali press release dated 5/7/2019

 
 

Situation Today: Trapped In Current Structure (Hope is Not a Strategy) 35

 
 

36 “Anyone who thinks that I could have just sold assets to pay down debt doesn't realize when you sell at 7 caps or 6.5 caps and you pay down debt, you don't actually work down your net debt - to - EBITDA. The only way you can do that is by selling either land or selling Roseland or raising equity , which are the three options we have in front of us” - Michael DeMarco, CEO of Mack - Cali – November 8 th , 2017 (1) (1) Blomberg transcript: Mack - Cali Q3 2017 earnings call 11/8/2017

 
 

Absent Structural Change, CLI’s Value Will Continue To Erode 37 Mack - Cali is trapped in its current structure ; absent immediate change we believe value erosion will persist • Mack - Cali’s disparate assets do not belong together, resulting in lowest common denominator valuation – Bundling development rich multifamily assets and high - vacancy, highly indebted office assets has left CLI trading at a significant discount to NAV in public markets; Mack - Cali’s portfolio must be split - up or sold to realize value • Mack - Cali is significantly over - levered, with no credible path to reduce debt – At over 9x Debt / EBITDA , CLI’s leverage exceeds that of almost all its peers. Despite perpetual management promises of debt reduction, we believe there is no credible path to reducing leverage absent significant shareholder dilution • Mack - Cali is cash - flow constrained: dividend at risk, commercial portfolio is capital starved – Mack - Cali does not cover its dividend from current cash flows; significant incremental capital expenditures/TI/leasing commissions required to improve CLI’s struggling office portfolio • Mack - Cali has been forced to cede value in its best business to third - parties – Capital required for high growth, high value multi - family business has historically been sourced via expensive, dilutive joint - ventures with partners such as Rockpoint Group. Currently, Mack - Cali is planning to continue this strategy, further diluting shareholders and increasing third party ownership of its multi - family business, effectively creating obstacles to a sale of the Company Robust independent Board oversight required to ensure structural change occurs

 
 

Mack - Cali’s Disparate Asset Base Hinders Value Realization 38 Public markets value Mack - Cali (and other diversified real estate companies) using the lowest common denominator of its underlying assets • Today’s REIT market penalizes companies with diversified assets - Mack - Cali will never get credit for its high - quality, high - multiple multi - family business while it resides with its commercial assets • Valuation woes further exacerbated by complex structure – Multi - family holdings partially financed via preferred equity and joint ventures – Office holdings include a mix of urban and suburban assets - 41% - 31% - 27% - 19% - 18% - 18% - 13% - 12% 1% 9% -50% -40% -30% -20% -10% 0% 10% 20% Mack-Cali (NAV Mid- Point) Mack-Cali (NAV Low-End) Malls Urban Office REITs Diversified REITs Shopping Center Lodging REITs Suburban Office REITs Apartment REITs Industrial Premium (Discount) To NAV Mack - Cali trades at the low end of REIT peers (1) (1) Sector data taken from Citi theHunter Express 3/18/2019 using straight average; Mack - Cali calculated using Company estimate of NAV as of Q4 2018 and using price as o f 3/15/2019

…that Cannot be Solved Organically 40 Mack - Cali does not have a credible path to adequately de - lever absent transformational change 1) Asset sales are dilutive to cash flow – While reducing complexity, office asset divestitures likely to result in dividend cuts - selling 8% - 12% cap rate suburban assets to pay down 4% debt or 1031 - exchanging into 5% - 8% cap assets is highly dilutive to cash flow 2) Significant capex required to successfully lease - up waterfront – in addition to leasing costs, ~$110m (1) of capital expenditure is required for CLI’s Waterfront Strategy – debt likely to remain elevated 3) Deleverage from waterfront lease - up 5 - years away in optimistic scenarios – We believe the enormous task of leasing ~1m+ sq ft of vacancy will take several years; will not drive meaningful deleveraging in the medium - term 4) Residential development is valuable, but requires significant capital – Mack - Cali must continue to invest in its attractive multi - family development platform; this can only be achieved through elevated leverage or dilutive joint - ventures Despite $2B+ of asset - sales since 2015, Mack - Cali’s leverage has increased (2) (1) Mack - Cali Investor Day Presentation dated 1/25/2019 slide 27 (2) CLI quarterly supplements from 2014 to today; pre - 2014 using Citi EBITDA and Debt figures; Citi reports dated 11/29/2004, 3/ 3/2005, 11/1/2007, 10/28/2010, 2/9/2012, 4/15/2013 4.6x 5.2x 5.4x 5.0x 5.6x 7.1x 7.7x 7.5x 9.3x 9.3x 9.5x 2x 3x 4x 5x 6x 7x 8x 9x 10x 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 Today Debt / EBITDA

Management is Already Messaging Dilution to Investors 45 Mack - Cali management has only recently taken a more straightforward approach with investors regarding the Company’s equity needs: “[Leverage] should blend below 8 times… We may have to raise equity in order to get there” (1) - CEO Michael DeMarco 2/21/2019 “As we outlined at the Investor Day, I think, in 2020, as we get full quarter benefits of our lease commencements, we get below 9 times. And then, we look at where the shares are, where we can raise equity and then that's the next move to get below 8 times net debt to EBITDA” (1) - CFO David Smetana 2/21/2019 “We started out with more leverage to begin with . We've been building this thing inside of a transformation process. So, if we were starting fresh, I would agree with you 100% [that leverage should be much lower]... Over time, we know, we want to raise equity or over time to have a sustainable business” (1) - CEO Michael DeMarco 2/21/2019 Equity dilution at Mack - Cali is inevitable (1) Bloomberg transcript: Mack - Cali Q4 2018 earnings call 2/21/2019 (2) Bloomberg transcript: Mack - Cali Investor Day 1/25/2019 “I’m going to be honest with everybody…we will probably need another additional deleveraging transaction ” (2) - CFO David Smetana 1/25/2019

We do not expect this to be reduced significantly and recommend investors adjust expectations” (2/21/2019) “CLI carries the risk of much higher leverage , a large development pipeline, an [underfunded] dividend , and high vacancy which will require additional capital - we think higher than average discount is warranted” (2/20/2019) “We believe the company would currently be more valuable in the private market than in the public market” (4/24/2019) “Investors may not realize the [e] mbedded value until some more heavy lifting is completed (and potentially a strategic transaction occurs)” 2/20/2019 “ The company’s board has been pretty ineffective over time , in our opinion, and the organization now carries substantial financial leverage 3/27/2019 “Leverage is high and will require another “deleveraging event. ” With cash flow pressured and leverage high , management noted that even after all the asset sales and portfolio recycling, it will need another “deleveraging event” to bring leverage down some. That likely will entail joint ventures, which adds complexity and more potential dilution , in our view, after spending the last few years simplifying.” (1/25/2019)

Fallacy #1: “Give Us A Year” 50 Management argues that the Company may be better positioned for a sale if given more time But… with time comes execution and market risks 1) Absent a transaction…shareholders are likely to be diluted with equity issuance 2) Absent a transaction…debt is likely to increase in the short to medium term 3) Absent a transaction…the Company is likely to sell away residential upside through complicated and expensive joint ventures 4) Absent a transaction…the market for residential assets can only weaken from its current frenzy 5) Absent a transaction…important capex is likely to be postponed given cash flow strain Ignoring all of the risks outlined above, a successful lease - up of the waterfront would generate $2 - $4 / sh (1) of potential value in 3 – 5 years A special committee of independent Board members should evaluate the best path forward for Mack - Cali (1) Assumes stabilized waterfront at 6.0% cap and incremental $45m of NOI for stabilization; Assumes costs ~$185m to stabilize ( $90 m capex and $95m in leasing, TI and free rent); assumes could sell today for $1.4B - $1.6B in market

 
 

Fallacy #2: Company Mischaracterizes Bow Street Goals 51 • As significant shareholders, we endeavored to work constructively with Mack - Cali to unlock significant value that we believe is trapped in its current structure • To this end, we approached Mack - Cali with a constructive proposal to serve as a starting point, providing an effective floor with which the Company could solicit the highest possible bids for its assets • Following a period of shockingly perfunctory analysis and zero inquiries to our advisors, Mack Cali’s Board rejected our proposal, yet again choosing to perpetuate the broken status quo; The Company is now attempting to use this constructive proposal to suggest ulterior motives on Bow Street’s part • Let us be clear: our objective is to maximize value for all Mack - Cali shareholders and we believe empowering an independent, refreshed Board to thoroughly assess the strategic path forward is best way to do so. All other discussions are intended to distract investors from the Board’s uncomfortable reality: destruction of shareholder value with no accountability Analysts believe stock back to sub - $20 absent Bow Street Investors want change: CLI outperformed since our involvement (1) 95 100 105 110 115 Price Index 100 3/15/2019 CLI RMZ Bloomberg Office Index Bloomberg Apartment Index ~700 bps outperformance “If something positive does not happen to realize shareholder value soon, the CLI share price will likely head south of $20/ sh ” - Stifel Research Report 5/6/2019 “We think Bow Street is in this for the long haul” - Stifel Research Report 4/16/2019 (1) Bloomberg through 5/10/2019

 
 

Fallacy #3: Mack - Cali’s “NAV Creation” Myth 52 CLI’s Board and management argue that significant NAV growth has occurred since new management took over in 2016; in reality, NAV has been essentially flat over this period • Company cited NAV appreciation since Mr. DeMarco became President in June 2015 is a reflection of sell - side updating metrics to adhere to Company disclosure rather than any economic increase in NAV • Initial CLI public NAV disclosure occurred in Q1 2016 with NAV of $34.51 / sh (2) (mid - point, chart to right) Board touts recent “NAV creation” story (1) … …but the Company’s Own Numbers Suggest Otherwise (2) $0 $5 $10 $15 $20 $25 $30 $35 $40 $45 Q1 16 Q2 16 Q3 16 Q4 16 Q1 17 Q2 17 Q3 17 Q4 17 Q1 18 Q2 18 Q3 18 Q4 18 Q1 19 Company Est. Midpoint NAV Company estimate of NAV flat over past 3+ years Chart from Mack - Cali’s Letter to Shareholders, April 2019 Mack - Cali’s NAV has been flat since 2016 (and actually, since 1999) (1) Mack - Cali letter dated 4/29/2019 (2) Mack - Cali quarterly supplements;

 
 

Fallacy #4: CLI Can Grow/Lease Out of its Cash Flow Strain 53 (1) Assumes rent / ft of $45, 10 - year lease, $50 / ft TI package (spent in year 1), 6 months of free rent, 5% leasing commission , and lease starts middle of the year Leasing up the Waterfront is not a panacea for Mack - Cali’s leverage issues • CLI free cash flow (post dividend) is currently negative, with minimal prospects for near - term improvement given additional Harborside capex and TI / rent concessions required for lease - up – Prospective Harborside lessees will require TI, commissions, and free rent of ~$100 / ft, wiping out 2 - 3 years of rent • Even with highly optimistic assumptions, Mack - Cali will not see benefit from leasing up waterfront until 2022 – 2024; corporate debt will increase in the interim Under its current business plan, Mack - Cali’s cash flow will not improve prior to 2023 Waterfront leasing doesn’t solve leverage problems or lead to meaningful cash flow for 5 years 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Harborside Net Absorption (Sq Ft) 250,000 250,000 250,000 250,000 Full Rent Received ($m) 6 17 28 39 45 45 Free Rent (6 months) (6) (6) (6) (6) Leasing Commission ($m) (5%) (6) (6) (6) (6) - - TI ($50 / ft on 10 yr lease) (13) (13) (13) (13) - - Harborside Capex Plan (30) (30) Cash Flow ($m) (48) (37) 4 16 45 45 Cumulative Cash Flow ($m) (48) (85) (81) (65) (20) 25

 
 

Fallacy #5: JVs in Residential Business Create Value 54 By using dilutive third - party joint - ventures to finance its residential development, Mack - Cali is essentially transferring value from shareholders to its capital partners (e.g. Rockpoint ) • Given its cash - flow constraints, Mack - Cali has been forced to pursue alternative financing sources to execute on high value developments in its residential business; regularly touted by management as an attractive source of capital, these joint - ventures in fact sell away the Company’s most valuable assets – Structurally Unfavorable - JV deals typically entail preferred hurdles, subordinating CLI shareholders – Deleterious to Valuation - Public markets apply significant discounts to JV structures and cash flow – Discourage Prospective Acquirors - Private buyers typically have strong preference for 100% ownership “One of the Company's primary goals has been to increase ownership and reduce subordinate joint venture interest” (1) “We went from having 11 subordinate interests which everyone commented on to really just one today” (2) “So when I talk about an additional de - leveraging transaction, it’s really raising equity at the entity level or through JVs at the multi - family ” (3) “ New project level joint ventures (which are) in talks with the current partners” (2) “Over time, we know, we want to raise equity or over time to have a sustainable business when I have to get delevered over time. We've taken in equity from Rockpoint. We believe we can joint venture other sales if we need to” (4) “We continue to talk to them (Rockpoint) and other partners to help fund that equity requirement” (5) CLI management spent years simplifying asset ownership… …only to recreate these issues in its multifamily business (1) Roseland Chairman Marshall Tycher ; Blomberg transcript: Mack - Cali Q3 2016 earnings call 10/26/2016 (2) CEO Michael DeMarco; Bloomberg transcript: Mack - Cali Investor Day 1/25/2019 (3) CFO David Smetana; Bloomberg transcript: Mack - Cali Investor Day 1/25/2019 (4) CEO Michael DeMarco; Bloomberg transcript: Mack - Cali Q4 2018 earnings call 2/21/2019 (5) CFO David Smetana; Bloomberg transcript: Citi Global Property CEO Conference 3/5/2019

 
 

Fallacy #6: All is Well Since Michael DeMarco Came Aboard 55 Current CEO Michael DeMarco was appointed President on June 3, 2015 when Mack - Cali stock was on its lows, there has been no durable stockholder value created since his appointment • While we believe Mr. DeMarco and his team have made a commendable effort to transition the Company, inherited insurmountable legacy issues have hindered meaningful value creation • In fact, excepting gains driven by recent market speculation and activist involvement, Mack - Cali has underperformed during Mr. DeMarco’s tenure as CEO $15 $17 $19 $21 $23 $25 $27 $29 Jan-15 Mar-15 May-15 Jul-15 Sep-15 Nov-15 Jan-16 Mar-16 May-16 Jul-16 Sep-16 Nov-16 Jan-17 Mar-17 May-17 Jul-17 Sep-17 Nov-17 Jan-18 Mar-18 May-18 Jul-18 Sep-18 Nov-18 Jan-19 Mar-19 CLI Price / Sh DeMarco joins as President ($17.02 / sh ) DeMarco named CEO ($26.89 / sh ) Stock performance has remained challenged despite new management’s best efforts (1) Total Return From DeMarco Join Date From DeMarco Named CEO Mack-Cali 39.6% -16.2% RMZ REIT Index 29.5% 13.2% S&P 500 44.7% 24.7% Bloomberg Apartment REIT Index 43.6% 23.1% Bloomberg Office REIT Index 14.3% 0.0% Company Selected Peer Group 35.1% 7.0% (1) Bloomberg; total return reinvests dividends; Company selected peer group includes peer REITs in 2017 – 2019 proxy statements tha t were publicly traded during period; DeMarco join date price taken from 6/2/2015 and named CEO date taken from 4/5/2017

 
 

A New Day at Mack - Cali: the Path Forward 56

 
 

Now is the Time For New Board Leadership 57 The 4 Directors Bow Street seeks to replace have combined tenure of over 80 years • Mack - Cali’s long serving Board has overseen massive destruction of shareholder value over the last 15 years; 7 of 11 directors from this period remain on the Board (including two members of the Mack family) • Deep entrenchment and loyalty to Chairman William Mack has left the Board lacking the independence required to make the difficult decisions Mack Cali faces at this time • The four directors Bow Street has nominated are accomplished business leaders from different fields and practices; each will bring a unique, truly independent perspective, and all will be fierce advocates for all CLI shareholders • We have chosen each of these directors to fill specific needs within CLI’s current Board. Their relevant expertise includes board governance, shareholder governance, real estate operations and investment, Manhattan - adjacent real estate development, consumer branding/marketing, and public company executive experience • We have endeavored to add diversity to the Board with respect to gender, age and most importantly – independence A new day at Mack - Cali must begin at the very top – new oversight is needed to assure the Company’s future

 
 

Bow Street Open to Settlement, Not “Window Dressing” 58 On May 13 th , 2019 Bow Street initiated what we believed to be a constructive dialogue with Mack - Cali’s Chairman; he abruptly terminated these discussions on May 17, 2019 • Over two days of discussions Bow Street and Mack - Cali agreed to the following: – The es tablishment of a Strategic Review Committee of the Board, comprised of two Bow Street nominees and two Mack - Cali incumbent directors, with a mandate to review the Company’s strategic direction and explore the value to be realized from a sale of the Company or any of its assets. • These discussions were abruptly terminated by Mr. Mack, apparently over our inclusion of following terms, all of which we believe to be favorable for shareholders: a) Bow Street and Mack - Cali agreeing in advance to the directors comprising Strategic Committee; b) Enabling the Strategic Review Committee to engage an investment bank instead of a valuation firm, which we believe would be better positioned to determine the value expected to be received in a strategic transaction and compare it to the Company’s stand - alone prospects c) In the event that Mack - Cali receives any unsolicited proposals, providing the Special Review Committee with a mandate to review such proposals • Unfortunately, this Board’s true interest is in “window dressing” – an illusory process that perpetuates the status quo - rather than a legitimate value - creative outcome for shareholders Bow Street would support a settlement which establishes a Strategic Review Committee with the independence and mandate to determine the best path forward for Mack - Cali and its shareholders

 
 

Our Nominees: Alan Batkin 59 • Former Vice Chairman of Eton Park (6 years), previously Vice Chairman of Kissinger Associates (16 years), Lehman Brothers Investment Banker (14 years as Managing Director), Coopers & Lybrand (4 years) • Mr. Batkin has extensive public board experience, as he has served as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pattern Energy Group Inc. since 2013, Director at Omnicom Group Inc. since 2008, and Lead Director at Cantel Medical Corp since 2014. Mr. Batkin previously served on the Boards of Directors of Hasbro, Inc., Diamond Offshore Drilling and Overseas Shipholding Group Inc. • Mr. Batkin has spent his entire career as a trusted advisor to multi - billion dollar corporations and investment firms. We believe he brings a new voice and diverse experience set to the Mack - Cali Board • With over 27 years of service on various Boards of Directors that includes chairing Governance and Audit committees, Mr. Batkin is well suited to be an independent director at Mack - Cali, whose current board has suffered from entrenchment and poor governance Mr. Batkin is a recognized leader in the business community, has significant public board experience

 
 

Our Nominees: Frederic Cumenal 60 • Former CEO and President of Tiffany’s and Co, preceded by 15 years of senior brand/consumer leadership positions at LVMH Group • Currently on the Board of Directors of Blue Nile Inc (Nasdaq: NILE, privatized in 2017), formerly on Boards of Directors of Tiffany & Co (NYSE: TIF) and Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ) • Mr. Cumenal has been a public market CEO with Tiffany’s and would be the only Mack - Cali Director with public market CEO experience (other than current CEO DeMarco). In addition to his significant public Board experience, we believe Mr. Cumenal’s expertise in branding is directly applicable to Mack - Cali’s most valuable asset – its quickly growing residential business in Jersey City for which millennials are a core target market. • Despite the fact that Mack - Cali touts its millennial - targeted residential development business as core to the Company’s financial future, no current Mack - Cali directors have consumer/branding expertise • We believe Mr. Cumenal will both enhance and diversify the current Mack - Cali Board Mr. Cumenal Brings Highly Relevant Branding/Consumer Expertise to Mack - Cali’s current Board

Shareholders Have a Clear Choice to Make 63 • Newly constituted independent Board of Directors, mandated to create value for all shareholders • Focus on meaningful solutions that address the Company’s structural issues – its leverage and cash flow needs • A commitment to explore all strategic alternatives to maximize shareholder value including a potential sale of the Company and its assets • Another 15 years of continued underperformance and value destruction • Weak governance and unmitigated conflicts • Prospective dilutive equity issuance and/or dividend cut • More “window dressing” – illusory solutions with limited/no impact Bow Street urges shareholders to protect their investment and vote the GOLD proxy card FOR its four, highly - qualified nominees who bring diverse, relevant backgrounds to a Board in need of change.
