(d)          On September 13, 2011, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”) was advised that Martin S. Berger, a member of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors”), had died on September 12, 2011. At its regularly scheduled meeting on September 14, 2011, the Board of Directors appointed Robert F. Weinberg to fill the vacancy of Mr. Berger’s unexpired term as a Class III director, which term shall expire on the earlier to occur of the 2012 annual meeting of stockholders or Mr. Weinberg’s resignation or removal.  Mr. Weinberg will not serve on any committees of the Board of Directors.

 

Mr. Berger was elected to the Board of Directors following the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders on May 24, 2011.  This board seat has historically been shared between Messrs. Berger and Weinberg, each of whom had agreed that, for so long as either of them serves on the Board of Directors, that such board seat would be rotated among Mr. Berger and Mr. Weinberg annually at the time of each annual meeting of stockholders, subject to qualification and appointment by the Board of Directors.  While the Company is not a party to such agreement, and neither Mr. Weinberg nor Mr. Berger has a contractual right to a seat on the Board of Directors, the Company has traditionally recognized their agreement to share the board seat.

 

Mr. Weinberg had direct or indirect interests in certain transactions involving the Company or its affiliates in the last fiscal year as follows:

 

1.                                       The Company has conducted business with certain entities (“RMC Entity” or “RMC Entities”), whose principals include Mr. Berger.  Such business was as follows:

 

a.                                       The Company provides management, leasing and construction-related services to properties in which RMC Entities have an ownership interest, including an RMC Entity in which Michael Grossman, an executive vice president of the Company, owns an approximate 2.1 percent ownership interest and which RMC Entity has an approximate 16 percent ownership interest in a property managed by the Company. Mr. Grossman’s interest in this RMC Entity is valued at approximately $216,000. The Company recognized approximately $1.4 million in revenue from all RMC Entities for the year ended December 31, 2010. As of December 31, 2010, the Company had $75,000 in accounts receivable due from RMC Entities.

 

b.                                      An RMC Entity leases space at one of the Company’s office properties consisting of approximately 4,860 square feet, which

lease is scheduled to expire October 31, 2011.  The Company recognized $137,000 in revenue under this lease for the year ended December 31, 2010, and had no accounts receivable due from the RMC Entity as of December 31, 2010.

 

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing these changes to its Board of Directors is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1.
