  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As previously announced by GMH Communities Trust (&#147;GMH&#148;
  or the &#147;Company&#148;), in connection with its proposed merger with American Campus
  Communities,&nbsp;Inc. (&#147;ACC&#148;), GMH expects to sell its home office (the &#147;Home
  Office&#148;) immediately prior to the closing of the merger, and has the right, but
  not the obligation, to sell, or dispose of, up to 10 additional student housing
  assets (the &#147;Disposition Assets&#148;).&nbsp;&#160;
  Under the terms of the merger agreement with ACC, a<b>  </b>percentage
  of the amount received in connection with the sale of the Home Office and
  certain of the Disposition Assets may be paid to GMH shareholders and
  unitholders as a special distribution preceding the closing of the merger (the &#147;Special
  Distribution&#148;).</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.25in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As a result of the transactions described below,
  including the anticipated sale of the Home Office, GMH expects that its board
  of trustees will authorize the Special Distribution, which will be payable
  immediately prior to the proposed merger, to GMH shareholders and unitholders as
  of the record date for the Special Distribution (&#147;Special Distribution Record
  Date&#148;).&#160; GMH currently estimates that the
  aggregate amount of the Special Distribution will be approximately<b>  </b>$51.9 million.&#160; Based
  on the number of common shares and units outstanding on May&nbsp;28, 2008, the
  Special Distribution is estimated to be approximately $0.728 per
  share/unit.&#160; The Special Distribution is
  in addition to the merger consideration and will be conditioned on the closing
  of the merger.&#160; The Special Distribution
  will be in addition to the remaining distribution to GMH shareholders and
  unitholders of approximately $0.98 per share/unit payable immediately prior to
  the closing of the proposed merger, which comprises the remaining net proceeds
  from the sale of GMH&#146;s former military housing division that is being held in
  reserve by GMH pending the closing of the merger.</font></p>

  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">As previously announced by GMH, if the Home Office was not sold to a
  third party unaffiliated with GMH prior to the closing of the merger, then Gary
  M. Holloway,&nbsp;Sr., GMH&#146;s chairman, chief executive officer&#160; and president was contractually obligated to
  purchase the Home Office pursuant to the put option to sell agreement, dated as
  of February&nbsp;11, 2008 (the &#147;Put Agreement&#148;) for a total of $8.0
  million.&#160; GMH&#146;s board of trustees
  established a committee of independent trustees to sell the Home Office and to
  decide, if applicable, whether to exercise GMH&#146;s rights under the Put
  Agreement.&#160; After the marketing of the
  Home Office by an independent broker to unaffiliated third parties, the special
  committee made the decision to exercise GMH&#146;s rights under the Put Agreement.</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
  
  <p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;8, 2008, a subsidiary of GMH, entered into an agreement of
  sale for the sale of the Home Office with an entity owned by Mr.&nbsp;Holloway.&#160; Under the terms of the agreement, Mr.&nbsp;Holloway
  placed an initial deposit of $240,000 into escrow.&#160; The closing of the sale of the Home Office is
  expected to occur immediately prior to, and is contingent upon, the closing of
  the proposed merger.&#160; The agreement also
  provides that either the buyer or seller may terminate the agreement upon
  written notice in the event that the merger agreement with ACC is terminated in
  accordance with Article&nbsp;IX thereof.&#160;
  There can be no assurance that the sale of the Home Office will be
  completed even if the proposed merger is closed.&#160; In that case, based on the number of common
  shares and units outstanding on May&nbsp;28, 2008, the estimated amount of the
  Special Distribution will be reduced by approximately $2.0 million or
  approximately $0.028 per share/unit.</font></p>

  Item 8.01               Other
  Events
  As previously announced by GMH Communities Trust ("GMH"
  or the "Company"), in connection with its proposed merger with American Campus
  Communities, Inc. ("ACC"), GMH expects to sell its home office (the "Home
  Office") immediately prior to the closing of the merger, and has the right, but
  not the obligation, to sell, or dispose of, up to 10 additional student housing
  assets (the "Disposition Assets").  
  Under the terms of the merger agreement with ACC, a
  percentage
  of the amount received in connection with the sale of the Home Office and
  certain of the Disposition Assets may be paid to GMH shareholders and
  unitholders as a special distribution preceding the closing of the merger (the "Special
  Distribution").
  As a result of the transactions described below,
  including the anticipated sale of the Home Office, GMH expects that its board
  of trustees will authorize the Special Distribution, which will be payable
  immediately prior to the proposed merger, to GMH shareholders and unitholders as
  of the record date for the Special Distribution ("Special Distribution Record
  Date").  GMH currently estimates that the
  aggregate amount of the Special Distribution will be approximately
  $51.9 million.  Based
  on the number of common shares and units outstanding on May 28, 2008, the
  Special Distribution is estimated to be approximately $0.728 per
  share/unit.  The Special Distribution is
  in addition to the merger consideration and will be conditioned on the closing
  of the merger.  The Special Distribution
  will be in addition to the remaining distribution to GMH shareholders and
  unitholders of approximately $0.98 per share/unit payable immediately prior to
  the closing of the proposed merger, which comprises the remaining net proceeds
  from the sale of GMH's former military housing division that is being held in
  reserve by GMH pending the closing of the merger.
  Home Office Sale
  As previously announced by GMH, if the Home Office was not sold to a
  third party unaffiliated with GMH prior to the closing of the merger, then Gary
  M. Holloway, Sr., GMH's chairman, chief executive officer  and president was contractually obligated to
  purchase the Home Office pursuant to the put option to sell agreement, dated as
  of February 11, 2008 (the "Put Agreement") for a total of $8.0
  million.  GMH's board of trustees
  established a committee of independent trustees to sell the Home Office and to
  decide, if applicable, whether to exercise GMH's rights under the Put
  Agreement.  After the marketing of the
  Home Office by an independent broker to unaffiliated third parties, the special
  committee made the decision to exercise GMH's rights under the Put Agreement.
  On May 8, 2008, a subsidiary of GMH, entered into an agreement of
  sale for the sale of the Home Office with an entity owned by Mr. Holloway.  Under the terms of the agreement, Mr. Holloway
  placed an initial deposit of $240,000 into escrow.  The closing of the sale of the Home Office is
  expected to occur immediately prior to, and is contingent upon, the closing of
  the proposed merger.  The agreement also
  provides that either the buyer or seller may terminate the agreement upon
  written notice in the event that the merger agreement with ACC is terminated in
  accordance with Article IX thereof. 
  There can be no assurance that the sale of the Home Office will be
  completed even if the proposed merger is closed.  In that case, based on the number of common
  shares and units outstanding on May 28, 2008, the estimated amount of the
  Special Distribution will be reduced by approximately $2.0 million or
  approximately $0.028 per share/unit.
  2
  Disposition Assets
  Under the terms of the merger agreement, a percentage of the amount
  received, if any in connection with the sale of certain Disposition Assets is
  allowed to be distributed to GMH's shareholders and unitholders.  In addition, under the terms of the merger
  agreement, GMH was permitted, if unable to sell certain Disposition Assets, to
  initiate discussions with the lenders holding mortgage debt on these properties
  in order to reach a work-out of the mortgage debt and/or surrender the
  properties to receivership.  Currently,
  GMH has completed the following transactions with regard to certain of the
  Disposition Assets:
  ·
  on May 19. 2008, a subsidiary
  of GMH sold University Fields, a student housing property primarily serving the
  University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign, which consists of approximately 192
  units containing 588 beds;
  ·
  on May 29, 2008, a
  subsidiary of GMH sold GrandMarc at University Village, a student housing
  property primarily serving the University of California—Riverside, which
  consists of approximately 212 units containing 760 beds; and
  ·
  GMH recently entered into
  settlement agreements with each of the respective lenders to work-out the debt
  and has surrendered the properties to receivership with regard to Lincoln View,
  Campus Connection, University Court, University Estates, and University Lodge.
  GMH announced the disposition of the assets referenced above and the
  expected Special Distribution in a press release dated May 29, 2008, a
  copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and in incorporated herein
  by reference.  GMH will issue a further
  press release announcing the Special Distribution Record Date and the payment
  date for the Special Distribution as and when authorized by GMH's board of
  trustees.  Only shareholders and
  unitholders as of the Special Distribution Record Date will have the right to
  receive the Special Distribution.
  GMH will file an additional Form 8-K and/or press release in the
  event GMH sells any of the remaining Disposition Assets prior to the closing of
  the merger if the proceeds from such sales, if any, are permitted under the
  merger agreement to be distributed to GMH shareholders and unitholders as an
  additional special distribution.  There
  can be no assurance that there will be any further sales of the remaining
  Disposition Assets prior to the closing of the proposed merger.
