On May 6, 2009, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the "Company") completed an underwritten public offering (the "Offering") of 11,500,000 shares of its common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the "Shares"), with Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., as representatives of the several underwriters (the "Underwriters") named in the Purchase Agreement (as defined herein below). The Shares were issued and sold by the Company to the Underwriters at a public offering price of $25.00 per Share pursuant to a purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") dated as of April 30, 2009 by and among the Company, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P., the operating partnership through which the Company conducts its real estate activities (the "Operating Partnership"), and the Underwriters. The Shares include 1,500,000 shares issued and sold pursuant to the Underwriters' exercise in full of their over-allotment option under the Purchase Agreement. A copy of the Purchase Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 1.1.

The Company estimates that it will receive net proceeds of approximately $275 million from the Offering after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and expenses. The Company intends to use the net proceeds from the Offering to repay outstanding borrowings under its $775 million unsecured revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

On May 6, 2009, the Company issued a press release announcing the completion of the Offering, a copy of which is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 After considering the effect of the Offering, the receipt of the expected net offering proceeds and the use of those proceeds for the repayment of outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, the Company expects that the Offering would have a dilutive effect of approximately $0.24 from the previously announced guidance of net income and funds from operations ("FFO") per diluted share for the full year ending December 31, 2009, which was furnished to investors under Item 2.02 of the Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 30, 2009.

The Company is expressing comfort with net income and FFO per diluted share for the full year 2009 after giving effect to the Offering, as follows:

                                                           Full Year
                                                          2009 Range
                                                            (after
                                                           Offering)
Net income available to common shareholders              $0.36 - $0.56
Add: Real estate-related depreciation and amortization       2.65
Funds from operations available to common shareholders   $3.01 - $3.21

The above estimates reflect management's view of current market conditions and certain assumptions with regard to rental rates, occupancy levels and other assumptions/ projections. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

It should be noted that FFO per diluted share as referenced in this Form 8-K is a non-generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") measure of the Company's performance in

addition to its net income available to common shareholders per share. FFO is defined as net income (loss) before minority interest of unitholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciable rental property (which the Company believes includes unrealized losses on properties held for sale), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO per share is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity real estate investment trust ("REIT"). The Company further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation and gains (or losses) from sales of properties (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO per share can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs. FFO per share should not be considered as an alternative to net income per share as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO per share presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO per share presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company's FFO per share is comparable to the FFO per share of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT").
