Unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Statements
On October 3, 2016, the Company and the Buyer closed on the settlement under the Purchase Agreement. The gross proceeds from the settlement were $969 million and included 108 properties totaling approximately 7.6 million square feet of space and 26.7 acres of land held for development.

The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 present the Trust’s and the Operating Partnership’s historical amounts, adjusted for the effects of the Transaction, as if it had occurred on January 1, 2015. The accompanying Pro Forma Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and the year ended December 31, 2015 are unaudited and are not necessarily indicative of what the Trust’s and the Operating Partnership’s actual results of operations would have been had the Transaction actually occurred on January 1, 2015, nor do they purport to represent the Trust’s and the Operating Partnership’s future results of operations.

Gain on sale has been reduced for an obligation to construct a garage. See (B3) above.
