* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1) Upon vesting of the 15,212 shares of restricted stock on 1/1/05, the reporting person deferred these shares into the Amended and Restated AMB Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The deferral of these shares was credited to the reporting person's account in the form of an equivalent number of stock units, each of which represents the reporting person's right to receive a share of AMB common stock upon distribution of his account. Distribution will occur upon retirement, death, other termination of employment or disability, upon AMB's change of control or on such other date as the reporting person elects.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) The stock units are held indirectly through a rabbi trust pursuant to the Plan.
(4) Shares withheld upon release of restricted stock to cover taxes owing.
(5) Of the 278,915 securities beneficially owned, 245,651 are directly owned (D), 690 securities are indirectly held through custodial accounts for children and 32,574 securities are held indirectly (I) through a rabbi trust pursuant to the Amended and Restated AMB Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.
