The following is a summary of the Company’s recent transactions:


ACQUISITIONS / SALES

In March, the Company reached an agreement with SL Green Realty Corporation to purchase the latter’s condominium interests in 125 Broad Street, a downtown Manhattan office tower, for $273 million. The condominium units being acquired are 100 percent leased, and include floors 2-16, and collectively comprise 39.6 percent, or 524,500 square feet, of the property. This investment will be the Company’s entry into the New York City office market.

In a related transaction, the Company stated that it would sell a Greenwich, Connecticut property at 500 West Putnam Avenue to SL Green Realty Corporation for $56 million. The property being sold is a four-story, 121,500 square-foot office building that is 96 percent leased.

Mack-Cali expects to complete both transactions in the second quarter.


DEVELOPMENT

In February, the Company agreed to develop a 250,000 square-foot class A office building for Wyndham Worldwide Corporation for its corporate headquarters. The building, which Wyndham Worldwide has pre-leased for 15 years, will be developed on a land site located on Sylvan Way at Mack-Cali Business Campus in Parsippany, New Jersey. Wyndham Worldwide, one of the world’s largest hospitality companies, will relocate and expand its space into the new building from the approximately 180,000 square feet it currently occupies at the Campus’s 1 Sylvan Way and 10 Sylvan Way, which have been leased to other companies. It will also retain the 145,983 square feet of space it occupies at another building at the Campus, 7 Sylvan Way. With the new lease, Wyndham Worldwide leases a total of 395,983 square feet of space at the Campus.



DIVIDENDS

In March, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.64 per common share (indicating an annual rate of $2.56 per common share) for the first quarter 2007, which was paid on April 16, 2007 to shareholders of record as of April 4, 2007.

The Board also declared a cash dividend on its 8 percent Series C cumulative redeemable perpetual preferred stock ($25 liquidation value per depositary share, each representing 1/100th of a share of preferred stock) equal to $0.50 per depositary share for the period January 15, 2007 through April 14, 2007. The dividend was paid on April 16, 2007 to shareholders of record as of April 4, 2007.


EQUITY OFFERING

In February, the Company completed an underwritten public offering of 4,650,000 shares of common stock for net proceeds of approximately $252 million. Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co. were the underwriters for the offering. The net proceeds were used for repayment of debt and for general corporate purposes.

INFORMATION ABOUT FFO

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined as net income (loss) before minority interest of unitholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable rental property (which the Company believes includes unrealized losses on properties held for sale), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO per share is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation and gains (or losses) from sales of properties (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO per share can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs. FFO per share should not be considered as an alternative to net income per share as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO per share presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO per share presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company’s FFO per share is comparable to the FFO per share of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  A reconciliation of net income per share to FFO per share is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
