Equity Office Properties Trust (NYSE: EOP) announced today that its subsidiary, EOP Operating Limited Partnership, has determined the total consideration and tender offer consideration to be paid pursuant to its cash tender offers and related consent solicitations in respect of an aggregate of approximately $8.4 billion of its outstanding unsecured debt securities, which we refer to as the �Notes.� The total consideration for the Notes, which will be payable in respect of Notes accepted for payment that were validly tendered with consents and not withdrawn on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 18, 2007, will be an amount equal to the total consideration specified in the table below for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes. The tender offer consideration for the Notes, which will be payable in respect of Notes accepted for payment that are validly tendered subsequent to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on January 18, 2007 but on or prior to 8:00 a.m., New York City time, on February 8, 2007 (unless extended or earlier terminated by EOP Operating Limited Partnership, the �Offer Expiration Date�), will be an amount equal to the total consideration minus the applicable consent payment. In each case, holders whose Notes are accepted for payment in the tender offers will receive accrued and unpaid interest in respect of such purchased Notes from the last interest payment date to, but not including, the payment date for Notes purchased in the tender offers. The following table sets forth the total consideration and tender offer consideration for the Notes under the terms of the tender offers. The nominal total consideration and the tender offer consideration for the Floating Rate Notes due 2010, the Floating Rate Notes due 2014 and the Internotes were specified in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated December 26, 2006 (the �Offer to Purchase�) and remain unchanged.
