As previously reported, on December 18, 2008, Liberty Property Trust (the "Company") and Liberty Property Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership" and, together with the Company, the "Transaction Entities") entered into a continuous offering program Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Original Citi Agreement") with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. ("Citi"). Pursuant to the terms of the Original Citi Agreement, the Company agreed to sell under its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-150737), effective May 8, 2008 (the "Registration Statement"), up to an aggregate sales price of $150,000,000 of its common shares of beneficial interest, $0.001 par value ("Common Shares"), through Citi or to Citi, as principal. As of the date of this Report, the Company had sold Common Shares having an aggregate sales price of approximately $135,000,000 under the Original Citi Agreement.
In connection with increasing the size of the existing continuous offering program from $150,000,000 to $300,000,000 in aggregate offering price and the inclusion of an additional sales agent, on May 22, 2009, the Transaction Entities entered into an Amended and Restated Equity Distribution Agreement (the "Amended Citi Agreement") with Citi, which replaces the Original Citi Agreement in its entirety.

Sales of Common Shares made pursuant to the Equity Distribution Agreements, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers' transactions at market prices, in block transactions or as otherwise agreed by Citi or UBS, as applicable, and us.
