Regulation FD Disclosure


ITEM 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
Equity Offering
On May 27, 2009, Cogdell Spencer Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing that it priced an underwritten public offering of 20,000,000 shares of common stock at a price of $3.50 per share. The Company also granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to 3,000,000 additional shares to cover overallotments. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1. On May 28, 2009, the underwriters exercised their option to purchase 3,000,000 additional shares in full.
Earnings Guidance
Based upon the terms and size of the offering, the Company expects that the offering will have a dilutive effect of approximately $0.27 to $0.29 per share and operating partnership unit on the Company's previously announced expected Funds from Operations Modified ("FFOM") for the year ending December 31, 2009. The Company expects that after giving effect to the offering and based on the Company's view of current and future market conditions, and certain current assumptions and estimates, FFOM per share and operating partnership unit, for the year ending December 31, 2009, will be between $0.58 and $0.64, excluding impairment charges, net of income tax benefit. A reconciliation of the range of projected net income (loss) to projected FFOM for the year ending December 31, 2009 is below:

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by the real estate
industry to measure the operating performance of real estate companies. FFOM
adds back to traditionally defined FFO non-cash amortization of non-real estate
related intangible assets associated with purchase accounting. The Company
presents FFO and FFOM because it considers them important supplemental measures
of operational performance. The Company believes FFO is frequently used by
securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of
REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended
to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and
related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes
ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or
fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes

depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing a perspective not immediately apparent from net income. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002), which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO and FFOM do not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO and FFOM should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's performance, nor are they indicative of funds available to fund its cash needs, including its ability to pay dividends or make distributions. A reconciliation from GAAP net loss to FFO and FFOM is included in the table above.
The Company's 2009 guidance for FFO and FFOM is based on a number of other assumptions, many of which are outside the Company's control and all of which are subject to change. The Company's guidance may change as actual and anticipated results vary from these assumptions. Dividends
In order to maintain financial flexibility in light of the current state of the capital markets, and after taking into account the dividend and distribution payments for the increased number of shares of common stock and operating partnership units expected to be outstanding upon completion of the public offering of common stock, the Company expects to reduce its current dividend and distribution payments of $0.225 per share of common stock and operating partnership unit for the balance of 2009. Assuming the completion of the offering, the Company currently expects to pay dividends and distributions of $0.10 per share of common stock and operating partnership unit, respectively, in each of the second, third and fourth quarters of 2009. The Company expects to fund dividends and distributions out of cash flow from operations for the balance of 2009, and currently expects to pay all future 2009 dividends and distributions in cash.
While the statements above concerning the remaining dividends and distributions for 2009 are the Company's current expectations, the actual dividends and distributions payable will be determined by the Company's board of directors based upon circumstances at the time of authorization, and the actual dividend paid may vary from currently expected amounts.
