CRANFORD, NJ—January 19, 2006—Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) announced today that its operating partnership, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., has sold $200 million of senior unsecured notes, comprised of $100 million of six-year notes and $100 million of 10-year notes.

 

The six-year notes bear interest at 5.25 percent, are due January 15, 2012, and were priced to yield 5.48 percent.  The 10-year notes are a re-opening of Mack-Cali Realty, L.P.’s previously-issued $100 million, 5.80 percent notes due January 15, 2016, which were re-opened at 101.081 to yield 5.65 percent, plus accrued interest.  Following the re-opening, the outstanding size of the 5.80 percent notes will be $200 million.  The sale of both series of notes is scheduled to settle on January 24, 2006.
