&#147;Company&#148;) elected Scott A. Musil to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr.&nbsp;Musil,
43, has been acting Chief Financial Officer of the Company since December&nbsp;2008 and Chief Accounting
Officer of the Company since March&nbsp;2006. Mr.&nbsp;Musil has also served as Senior Vice President of the
Company since March&nbsp;2001, Controller of the Company since December&nbsp;1995, Treasurer of the Company
since May&nbsp;2002 and Assistant Secretary of the Company since May&nbsp;1996. In addition, he served as a
Vice President of the Company from May&nbsp;1998 to March&nbsp;2001. Prior to joining the Company, he served
in various capacities with Arthur Andersen &#038; Company, culminating as an audit manager specializing
in the real estate and finance industries. Mr.&nbsp;Musil is a certified public accountant. His
professional affiliations include the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (&#147;NAREIT&#148;).
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;9, 2011, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company
approved, and on March&nbsp;10, 2011 the Board of Directors of the Company ratified, criteria for the
Compensation Committee to use when granting awards with respect to 2011 performance to the
Company&#146;s chief executive officer and certain other senior executive officers under the Company&#146;s
incentive compensation plan (the &#147;2011 Executive Officer Bonus Plan&#148;). Award determinations under
the 2011 Executive Officer Bonus Plan will be based on the Company&#146;s achievement of certain
identified thresholds of funds from operations (&#147;FFO&#148;) per share (using the NAREIT definition) per
annum, as FFO may be adjusted by the Compensation Committee in its discretion to exclude the
effects of certain extraordinary items. Achievement of a minimum threshold of adjusted FFO will
qualify each executive officer covered by the 2011 Executive Officer Bonus Plan to receive a bonus.
Achievement by the Company of specifically identified higher levels of performance with respect to
adjusted FFO will qualify each executive officer covered by the 2011 Executive Officer Bonus Plan
to receive 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% or 125%, respectively, of his stated bonus opportunity, subject to
the discretion of the Compensation Committee. Should performance fall between two identified
payout levels, the resulting compensation that may be earned for such performance will be
appropriately prorated.

 <I>the Securities Act of 1933, and Section&nbsp;21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. We intend such
forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this
statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements,
which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of
the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words &#147;believe,&#148; &#147;expect,&#148; &#147;intend,&#148;

similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or
strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a materially adverse effect on our
operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in national,
international, regional and local economic conditions generally and real estate markets
specifically; changes in legislation/regulation (including changes to laws governing the taxation
of real estate investment trusts) and actions of regulatory authorities (including the Internal
Revenue Service); our ability to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust;
the availability and attractiveness of financing (including both public and private capital) to us
and to our potential counterparties; the availability and attractiveness of terms of additional
debt repurchases; interest rates; our credit agency ratings; our ability to comply with applicable
financial covenants; competition; changes in supply and demand for industrial properties (including
land, the supply and demand for which is inherently more volatile than other types of industrial
property) in the Company&#146;s current and proposed market areas; difficulties in consummating
acquisitions and dispositions; risks related to our investments in properties through joint
ventures; environmental liabilities; slippages in development or lease-up schedules; tenant
creditworthiness; higher-than-expected costs; changes in asset valuations and related impairment
charges; changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to real
estate investment trusts; international business risks; and those additional factors described
