<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On January&nbsp;12, 2012, Corporate Office Properties Trust (the &#147;Registrant&#148;) issued a press release in which it announced that its Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend of $0.275 per common share of beneficial interest to be paid on April&nbsp;16, 2012 to shareholders of record on March&nbsp;31, 2012.&#160; Also on January&nbsp;12, 2012, the Registrant issued an additional press release in which it provided information pertaining to its guidance for the year ending December&nbsp;31, 2012.&#160; These press releases are included as Exhibits&nbsp;99.1 and 99.2 to this report and are incorporated herein by reference.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The information included herein, including the exhibits, shall not be deemed &#147;filed&#148; for any purpose, including the purposes of Section&nbsp;18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;), or subject to liabilities of that Section.&nbsp; The information included herein, including the exhibits, shall also not be deemed incorporated by reference into any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#147;Securities Act&#148;), or the Exchange Act regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Registrant uses the non-GAAP financial measures described below in earnings and guidance press releases and information furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission.&#160; The Registrant believes that these measures are helpful to investors in measuring its performance and comparing such performance to other real estate investment trusts (&#147;REITs&#148;).&#160; Since these measures exclude certain items includable in net income, reliance on the measures has limitations; management compensates for these limitations by using the measures simply as supplemental measures that are weighed in balance with other GAAP and non-GAAP measures.&#160; These measures are not necessarily indications of the Registrant&#146;s cash flow available to fund cash needs.&#160; Additionally, they should not be used as an alternative to the comparable GAAP measures when evaluating the Registrant&#146;s financial performance or to cash flow from operating, investing and financing activities when evaluating the Registrant&#146;s liquidity or ability to make cash distributions or pay debt service.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Funds from operations (&#147;FFO&#148;) is defined as net income computed using GAAP, excluding gains on sales of, and impairment losses on, previously depreciated operating properties, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization.&#160; The Registrant believes that it uses the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts&#146; (&#147;NAREIT&#148;) definition of FFO, although others may interpret the definition differently and, accordingly, its presentation of FFO may differ from those of other REITs.&#160; The Registrant believes that FFO is useful to management and investors as a supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains related to sales of, and impairment losses on, previously depreciated operating properties and excluding real estate-related depreciation and amortization, FFO can help one compare the Registrant&#146;s operating performance between periods.&#160; The Registrant believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This measure is FFO adjusted to subtract (1)&nbsp;preferred share dividends, (2)&nbsp;income attributable to noncontrolling interests through ownership of preferred units in Corporate Office Properties, LP (the &#147;Operating Partnership&#148;) or interests in other consolidated entities not owned by the Registrant, (3)&nbsp;depreciation and amortization allocable to noncontrolling interests in other consolidated entities, (4)&nbsp;Basic FFO allocable to restricted shares and (5)&nbsp;issuance costs associated with redeemed preferred shares.&#160; With these adjustments, Basic FFO represents FFO available to common shareholders and holders of common units in the Operating Partnership (&#147;common units&#148;).&#160; Common units are substantially similar to common shares of beneficial interest in the Registrant (&#147;common shares&#148;) and are exchangeable into common shares, subject to certain conditions.&#160; The Registrant believes that Basic FFO is useful to investors due to the close correlation of common units to common shares.&#160; The Registrant believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Basic FFO.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><u><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Diluted FFO per share (&#147;Diluted FFOPS&#148;)</font></u></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Diluted FFOPS is (1)&nbsp;Diluted FFO divided by (2)&nbsp;the sum of the (a)&nbsp;weighted average common shares outstanding during a period, (b)&nbsp;weighted average common units outstanding during a period and (c)&nbsp;weighted average number of potential additional common shares that would have been outstanding during a period if other securities that are convertible or exchangeable into common shares were converted or exchanged.&#160; The computation of Diluted FFOPS assumes the conversion of common units in the Operating Partnership but does not assume the conversion of other securities that are convertible into common shares if the conversion of those securities would increase Diluted FFOPS in a given period.&#160; The Registrant believes that Diluted FFOPS is useful to investors because it provides investors with a further context for evaluating the Registrant&#146;s FFO results in the same manner that investors use earnings per share (&#147;EPS&#148;) in evaluating net income available to common shareholders.&#160; The Registrant believes that diluted EPS is the most directly comparable GAAP measure to Diluted FFOPS.</font></p>

The first quarter 2012 dividend will be paid on April&nbsp;16, 2012 to shareholders of record on March&nbsp;31, 2012. The new quarterly dividend represents a 33% decrease from the Company&#146;s fourth quarter 2011 dividend of $0.4125 per share, and is expected to result in additional free cash flow of approximately $40 million on an annual basis.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&#147;By reducing our annualized dividend to $1.10 per share, the Company will be able to allocate the additional free cash flow toward improving our balance sheet flexibility and/or funding existing development projects,&#148; said Roger A. Waesche,&nbsp;Jr., COPT&#146;s President. &#147;We also believe a dividend re-set is consistent with the Company&#146;s strategic initiative to sell over $570 million of properties and land in order to focus our resources on the most productive locations that serve our specialized tenant niche.&#148;</font></p>
