Item 9. Regulation FD Disclosure
George J. Carter, the President, Chief Executive Officer and a member of
the Board of Directors of Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the "Company")
intends to inform the Company's stockholders at the Company's 2004 Annual
Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 7, 2004 that the Company's Board of
Directors has authorized management to take all actions to effect a listing of
the Company's common stock on the American Stock Exchange. The listing and
beginning of public trading of the Company's common stock is currently targeted
to take place on or about January 1, 2005. Mr. Carter will also note that the
exact timing of such an event is uncertain and depends on several factors,
including the approval by The American Stock Exchange of the Company's
application for listing, and the completion by the Company of numerous
organizational and structural tasks prior to such listing.
Well in advance of the actual listing, the Company intends to communicate
in writing to all shareholders more information regarding the listing process,
including specific information related to individual share certificates.
