Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information included in this report contains forward-looking statements, such as
statements related to the offering, issuance and sale of the notes, expected use of the net
proceeds and the availability of a final prospectus, which are made pursuant to the safe-harbor
provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Section 27A of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Because these forward-looking statements involve numerous
risks and uncertainties, there are important factors that could cause our actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements, and you should not rely on the
forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. The events or circumstances reflected
in the forward-looking statements might not occur. You can identify forward-looking statements by
the use of forward-looking terminology such as believes, expects, may, will, should,
seeks, approximately, intends, plans, forecasting, pro forma, estimates or
anticipates or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases. You can also
identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
Forward-looking statements should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and
will not necessarily be accurate indicators of whether, or the time at which, such performance or
results will be achieved. There is no assurance that the events or circumstances reflected in
forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements are necessarily
dependent on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and we may not be able
to realize them. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward-looking statements, which
reflect our analysis only and speak as of the date of this report or as of the dates indicated in
the statements. All of our forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by this
statement. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements. The
following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially
from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements contained in this report:
any material adverse change in the financial or securities markets within or outside the United
States or in political, financial or economic conditions within or outside the United States or any
material outbreak or material escalation of hostilities within or outside the United States or
declaration by the United States of a national emergency or war or other material calamity or
crisis within or outside the United States, including, without limitation, an act of terrorism, any
suspension or limitation of trading in securities generally or in any of the securities of AMB by
the SEC, by any exchange that lists such securities or in any over-the-counter market, any
declaration by any governmental authority of a general banking moratorium, any financial market
fluctuations, actual or perceived changes in general economic conditions, global trade or in the
real estate sector, inflation risks, an actual or perceived downturn in the U.S., California or
global economy, and certain other matters discussed under the heading Risk Factors and elsewhere
in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009 and our quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2010 and
June 30, 2010.
