ITEM 5.02. DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF

Governance Committee.
Forward Looking Statements
Some of the information included in this report contains forward-looking statements, such as those
related to the board committees on which we expect Ms. Beschloss to serve, 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 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 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,” “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 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 only as of the date of this report or the
dates indicated in the statements. 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: defaults
on or non-renewal of leases by tenants, increased interest rates and operating costs, our failure
to obtain necessary outside financing, difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and in
effecting acquisitions, our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations,
our failure to divest properties we have contracted to sell or to timely reinvest proceeds from any
divestitures, risks and uncertainties affecting property development and construction (including
construction delays, cost overruns, our inability to obtain necessary permits and public opposition
to these activities), our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment
trust, environmental uncertainties, risks related to natural disasters, financial market
fluctuations, changes in real estate and zoning laws, risks related to doing business
internationally and increases in real property tax rates. Our success also depends upon economic
trends generally, including interest rates, income tax laws, governmental regulation, legislation,
population changes and certain other matters discussed under the heading “Management’s Discussion
and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Business Risks” and elsewhere
in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.
