OTHER EVENTS On March 24, 1999, the previously adjourned Special Meeting of Unitholders to vote on the proposed conversion of the Partnership from a master limited partnership to a real estate investment trust (REIT) was convened and adjourned again until March 29, 1999. The meeting will reconvene on that date at 2:00 p.m. PST at the Holiday Inn Crown Plaza, 1113 Sixth Avenue, Seattle, Washington. The Special Meeting was adjourned and the vote on the proposed conversion delayed to allow time to prepare additional disclosure, consistent with the previously announced decision issued by the Delaware Court of Chancery on March 18, 1999. The decision preliminarily enjoined the Unitholder vote on the proposed conversion pending disclosure of additional information related to the conversion. The reconvened Special Meeting is expected to be adjourned again to a subsequent date to allow sufficient time for mailing to, and consideration by, Unitholders of additional information consistent with the Court's opinion. Additional information will be mailed to Unitholders as soon as practicable. The public announcement concerning the adjournment of the Special Meeting of Unitholders is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this document and is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 7.
