Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On April 5, 2005, Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (the “Company”), through its operating partnership, Mack-Cali Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), priced an offering of $150 million of senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”). The Notes mature on April 15, 2010 and bear interest at 5.05%, with interest payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15 of each year outstanding, beginning October 15, 2005. The Operating Partnership estimates that it will receive net proceeds of approximately $148.8 million from the sale of the Notes which are intended to be used to reduce outstanding borrowings under its $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility. The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes at any time upon payment of a make-whole amount.  The closing of the offering is expected to occur on April 15, 2005.

Morgan Securities Inc. for themselves and as representatives of the underwriters named on Schedule 2 thereto (the “Underwriters”). The terms of the Underwriting Agreement, which provide for the sale of the Notes to the Underwriters, are as set forth in the preceding paragraph.

 

Affiliates of certain of the Underwriters of this offering are lenders on the Company’s $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility.
